Event trigger wizard : Time interval

In this step, you need to specify the interval at which the event should trigger. For example, entering '60' would cause the event to trigger once every minute.

The value you enter can use any of the units d (days), h (hours), min (minutes), s (seconds), or ms (milliseconds). You can mix units and also specify decimal values. So, for example, the period of eight and a half minutes could be entered as '8.5min' or as '8min 30s'. If you don't specify any units, then seconds will be assumed.

You can enter any value from 50 milliseconds to 24 hours.

Note that the event will always trigger once, but thereafter it will only actually trigger repeatedly (at the specified interval) if it is reset. Therefore it's normal to set this type of event to reset automatically, although you could choose to explicitly reset it as part of an action's effects.
