66.3 Setting Up a User-defined Event

Open the Event Definition window.

Click Add.

Name

Enter a name for your user-defined event.

System

The choice in this combo box governs what will be selectable when you click the Add Element button.

Mobile

If you choose a specific external device in this combo box, the event is triggered only when the event expression is true for this particular device. If you choose "Any", the event can be triggered by any device.

Periodic, Interval

If Periodic is checked, the event is generated repeatedly as long as its condition is true, at intervals governed by the Interval parameter.

If Periodic is not checked, the event is generated only once when its condition becomes true.

See section "Wait For with Periodic Events" for an example.

You build up the event expression by using the add buttons on the right. The structure of the expression is displayed in the box beneath the Name field.
