Creating an Event Generator Project

The Event Generator project holds event rate definitions, event sequence files, event rules, and the file that represents the Event Generator named event_generator_project_name.deg.

1. In the Digital Events Development perspective, right-click inside the Project Explorer view and navigate to New > Digital Event Generator Project.

3. Under Event types, use the dual list box to add the digital event types of the events that you want the Event Generator to emit. The list of event types from which you can choose contains only publishable event types.

Tip:
Use the search bar to filter the list of available digital event types. You can also select multiple event types by holding down the CTRL button and clicking specific entries, or by holding down the SHIFT button and clicking the first and last entry of a range.
