As the title, i want to set a source's inter-arrival time by time of the day. For example, I want my source inter-arrival time is exponential(0, 10, getstream(current)) second before noon, and exponential(0, 15, getstream(current)) after noon. Where can i setup my source like this?

Instead of current you have to use ownerobject(c) when filling in the table.
That pick option has issues across the hour boundaries - particularly with sparse events.
Take this example where the expected inter-arrival rate for the first hour is 30 mins and then every 10 seconds in the second hour (contrived to show its limitation).
The arrival for the first hour actually arrives in the second hour and the 10 second interval items don't start arriving until then (9:48). What 'should'* be happening is the first arrival is discarded at the end of the first hour and the 10 second arrivals start from 9am.
*what most people might expect without scrutinizing the behvior and what most people would probably implement if they were asked to provide a 'water-tight' solution.
