How do I simulate a source with blocking before service?

I prepared to simulate a source with blokcing before service. Inter arrival time is t. The behavior can be described as : the source generates a box every t if there is space in the first processor; the source stop generating boxes if there is no space in the first processor. If the space in the first processor, the source will start to generate a box every t again. How do I simulate this kind of source?

That is not a task of a source. That is an event driven process flow, that waits for a content change of the processor. This process flow creates an item in a queue in front of the processor, waits a time t and creates a new item As long as the processor is empty, when a new must be created otherwise the wait for event activity holds the token. control_item_creation.fsm
