# Trap Control

Open **Controls** from a trap's detail screen to send commands to the trap and check its status. The Controls popup looks like this:

### Command Icons

* **GPS** — Request an updated GPS location for the trap. See [GPS](/faqs/gps.md).

* **Data** — Request the trap's latest data and sensor readings.
* **Buzzer** — Sound the trap's buzzer — handy for locating the trap or confirming it's responsive.
* **Reboot** — Restart the device.
* **Hibernation** — Put the trap into hibernation (sleep until you press the power button or change the battery). See [Power Modes](/faqs/power-modes.md).
* **Request Image** — Request a photo from the trap's camera. See [Manually taking an image](/faqs/manually-taking-an-image.md).

### Data & Network Details

* **Data** (dropdown) — Expand to view device data such as battery type and voltage, firmware version, and temperature.
* **Network** (dropdown) — Expand to view connection details: signal quality, network operator, signal strength, and last activity.
* **View Data Charts** — Open graphical charts of the trap's performance over time.
* **Last heard** — Shows when the trap last checked in with the cloud.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ocutrap.com/getting-started/app/trap-control.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
