How to add interarrival time using cempirical?

I wanted to have patient arrival according to interarrival time. I am confused about the 1st column(refer the 1st table) whether the x shows the patient arrival in minutes or it is the number of patient. What does the x signifies in cempirical? @Regan Blackett @Matthew Gillespie @Ben Wilson

Hello @Ujjwal J,

The third cempirical uses the first two columns to create the distribution. The third column is a note column. Please see the manual for more useful details on the cempirical. The distribution is used to decide the timing of when patients enter the simulation since it is an interarrival source.
