Clicking on “Event Manager” will open the Events Editor window where you can define when
Field Feeder should re-read the data from the source text file. The “Event Type” setting
determines how often the source file is polled for data. The options consist of Once, Daily,
Weekly, or Every X seconds. The “Event Name” field can be used to provide the event with a
name and the “Event Description” field allows for further describing the event. The “Date” field
can be used in conjunction with the Once, Daily, and Weekly options whereas the “Time /
Interval” field can be used with updating Every X seconds. The filename is the source file
containing the data we want to send with Field Feeder and that will be re-polled by Field
Feeder based on the previous settings. Once the event is defined clicking “Add” will then add
that event to the list of events on the left hand side of the window. Selecting an event from the
list on the left and clicking “Delete” will remove that event from the list and clicking update with
an event selected will update the parameters for that event with any changes that were made.
