All three of these settings can be configured remotely using the
Command
Protocol
of the 8TraXX/E.
Example:
T:13:30
T:Sunrise
T:Sunset
D: Start Date
The Start Date is the month, day, and year your event becomes active. For
most cases being active simply means gets executed. You specify it in a
variety of ways. You can use periods, slashes, or dashes to separate the
fields of the dates. Dates from the year 2000 to the year 2099 are supported.
Leap years are handled automatically.
Examples:
D:01.01.2001
D:01/01/2001
D:01-1-2001
I: End Time
The End Time is the hour and minute your event stops being active. See the
T: Start Time section for syntax.
Examples:
I:1:30
I:Sunset
I:Sunrise
A: End Date
The End Date is the month, day, and year your event stops being active. See
the D: Start Date section for syntax.
Examples:
D:01.01.2001
D:01/01/2001
D:01-1-2001
R: Repeat Number
The Repeat Number acts differently depending on what other fields it is used
with:
•
With no Repeat set field present.
•
With a Repeat Set field present.
1. With no Repeat set field present:
This is the most common usage of the Repeat Number. It acts as a multiplier
of the Repeat Period. They should be read in conjunction like this:
“Repeat
this event every <repeat number> <repeat period>”.
Ex.“Repeat this
event every 30 minutes”.
The repeat number can be anywhere from 1 to over 4 billion. You can
specify repeating a number of minutes, which is why this is so huge.
