"An Event is simply a block of code which runs at a set interval." (from the document "Software Summary.PDF").
FWIW, the above use of the word Event may be confusing to some.
The word "Event" is widely used to refer to a hardware occurrence, either periodic (such as a timer tick) or asynchronous (such a user pressing a button or limit switch changing state). The code which gets invoked when the Event occurs is typically called an Event Handler or Event Service Routine (ESR). This is analogous to an Interrupt and an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).
