Events are occurrences related to an object, which trigger programmed actions. Events are basically Physical or External and Internal.

Physical events are, for example, any keyboard or mouse actions. In this case, the important information is the pressed key, or the mouse pointer position and the status of mouse buttons. Internal events are, for example, a temperature change on a chamber from 10 to 11 Celsius degrees.

In Elipse E3, there is a list of available events sorted by object, starting by standard events, present in all objects. These events can be modified using the Scripts tab, available on the view of the object users want to create a script.
