Generate Events
Generating events computes the list of celestial events that match the current study's configuration. Aquila scans the study's configured date range and fills the events table with every event it finds. Generation happens on a background thread and reports progress as it works, so the application stays responsive even over long date ranges.
Generate Events for a Study
The Run button starts event generation for the current generator study. It is enabled only when the study is unlocked and, if the study includes an event filter, the filter has been compiled.
Before generating events, confirm that:
- The study is unlocked and configured.
- A Location is specified for the study.
- Any event filter you added has been compiled.
To generate events:
- Click the Run button.
When generation completes, the events fill the table and the study locks: its configuration controls are disabled and the Run button becomes invisible. To change the study's settings and generate events again, unlock the study, which makes the Run button reappear.
To stop a generation that is still in progress, see Cancel Study Generation.
