-Create an Event Label using two Threshold crossings and a local minimum.+====== Event Onset ======
  
-Create an event label at the last minimum value before a threshold crossing, or at the last baseline threshold crossing before a threshold crossing. The event created is the "minimum" event or "baseline" event that is closest to the threshold crossing.+===== Overview ===== 
 +The **Event_Onset** command is used to detect and label an event when a specified signal crosses a defined threshold. This command allows users to analyze motion signals by specifying a threshold, direction of crossing, and optional baseline conditions. The event can be applied to individual signal components and constrained within a specified frame window or event range.
  
-  * The threshold crossing is a fairly high value (or metric) that the user is confident is beyond the Event of interest +The command creates an event label at either the last minimum value before a threshold crossing, or at the last baseline threshold. THe closest event is set as the ONSET event. Some key details are as follows: 
-  * The baseline crossing is a low threshold value (or metric) which is typically the point at which a velocity signal(for example) just starts moving.+  * The threshold crossing is a fairly high value (or metric) that the user is confident is beyond the Event of interest. 
 +  * The baseline crossing is a low threshold value (or metric) which is typically the point at which a velocity signal (for example) just starts moving.
   * The last local minimum before the threshold crossing (higher threshold).   * The last local minimum before the threshold crossing (higher threshold).
   * The event from the baseline crossing and local minimum that is closest to the higher threshold crossing is set as the ONSET Event.   * The event from the baseline crossing and local minimum that is closest to the higher threshold crossing is set as the ONSET Event.
 +  * If multiple components are chosen (X Y and Z), the command will look for when any component passes the threshold and when any component reaches the baseline or a local minimum.

 +===== Examples =====  
 +The following examples will go through the use of the Event_Onset command in the Visual3D application.
  
-===== Example 1 =====+==== Example 1 ==== 
 +This example identifies movement onset based on the speed of the hand. It detects the onset of hand movement (labeled as "ON") by looking for when the hand's speed exceeds 0.2m/s, but only during the time between a "GO" event and a maximum velocity event (VEL_MAX) event. It focuses on the upward crossing of the speed threshold.

 +===== Notes =====
 +  * The /Ascending and /Descending parameters determine whether the event is placed at an upward or downward threshold crossing.
 +  * The /Frame_Offset can be used to shift the event placement after threshold detection.
 +  * The /Baseline is useful when detecting minima or maxima, ensuring the event is placed correctly.
