Periodic Rates Table

I have a source producing items from the periodic rates option. It is breaking it down by hour. Is it possible to break it down by half hour?

FlexSim 23.2.0
periodic rate
5 |100000

Up to 12 attachments (including images) can be used with a maximum of 23.8 MiB each and 47.7 MiB total.

Hi @Ella Layton! Unfortunately I don't think that's possible, however there are a couple other ways you could do it, the easiest would be to create a really simple process flow with a Date/Time Source -> Create Object -> Sink. The Date/Time source allows you to specify the time interval a lot more exactly. Let me know if you have any follow up questions and I'd be happy to help!

In the Create Object, where it says Create In, use the sampler tool (little black dropper on the right) to sample where the object would normally go after the source1690320221477.png

@Julie Weller ,After working with this for a while, I realized it won't work with the current process flow I have. What I have is all based on the model and used for getting data. The source in it is event triggered by when things enter the queue in the model, and I have two different sources for the 2 different queues. If I was to use this solution, the process flow would need to be completely remade.
