 An **Event** is simply an occurrence of interest that correlates to a motion capture frame, i.e. to a particular time point within a movement. The key events for gait studies (e.g., heel strike, toe-off) are now so well standardized that Visual3D can detect and mark them automatically . For other applications, you can define your own events, either manually (using the mouse to double-click on significant points on any graph) or computationally. An **Event** is simply an occurrence of interest that correlates to a motion capture frame, i.e. to a particular time point within a movement.

-  - Click on the **Signal and Event Processing** Tab to visualize the animation of the model based on the movement data and the model that was applied to it. If the animation doesn’t appear in the 3D Animation viewer, check the active file combo box on the toolbar. It should read ’Walking Trial 1.c3d’ rather than ALL-FILES +  * **Tutorial6_EventProcessing_Start.cmz**: Starting point for this tutorial, .cmz file which is the same as the start of the [[visual3d:tutorials:reports:visualizing_data|Visualizing Data]] tutorial. Within the CMZ, the //Lower Body Static Trial.c3d// calibration file is loaded as well as the //Walking Trial 1.c3d// motion file. 
-  - Select **Graph X,Y,and Z** and **New Graph** to graph all 3 components of one of the Ground Reaction force signals in the data tree.\\+  * **Tutorial6_EventAdded_End**: Final result of tutorial, with events added to the CMZ file.
