With \in you the value of the float counter while \at shows the page 
where the float is placed.


The original example passed a name to the optional argument of 
\externalfigure but when you do this you just access a named list of 
figure options, e.g. rotating the image by 90 degrees counter clockwise.

\setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}]

\defineexternalfigure[rotated][orientation=90]

\starttext
\externalfigure[hacker.jpg][rotated]
\stoptext
