There are 3 Elements which control the path: Start Element, Stop Element and Join Elements(s). If you do NOT set the Join Element(s), then the path will be controlled by the Start and Stop entirely, i.e. a sighting containing the “Start Element” will begin a path and it will not be terminated until a corresponding “Stop Element” occurs in a subsequent sighting. If you set the “Join Elements(s)”, then the system will connect any 2 points pA and pB (with pA occurring before pB) if they meet the following requirements: • pA and pB must come from the same PDA • pA must not contain the “Stop Element” • pB must not contain the “Start Element” • pA must contain the “Start Element” OR one of the “Join Elements” • pB must contain the “Stop Element” OR one of the “Join Elements” • if pA and pB both contain a “Join Element”, then it must be t
