Example 3
T:14:46 D:01/1/2015 R:30 P:minute A:1/3/2010 I:3:00
E:COMMAND 1:"1P2PL”
We’ve now added:
Repeat Number(R):
30
Repeat Period(P):
minute
Ending Time(I):
3am in the morning (
3:00
military)
Ending Date(A):
January 3
rd
2015
The
Repeat Number
acts as a multiplier of the
Repeat Period
. They should be read
in conjunction like this:
“Repeat this event every 30 minutes”.
The
Ending Time
and
Ending Date
fields specify the time and date that the
repeating will stop. In this example, the TourTraXX will play file #1 to channel pair
2 on 1/1/2015 at exactly 2:46PM. It will then play the file again 30 minutes later
(3:16PM) and will continue to repeat until 3:00AM on 1/3/2010.
Example 4
T:1:00 D:11-28-2015 R:4 P:Thursday S:November E:COMMAND
1:"1P2PL”
The only thing that is new with this example is the
Set
field:
Repeat Set(S):
November
A
set
defines a certain range of valid repeat periods. For this example, only the
Thursdays in November are eligible for this event. When a
Set
is used in an event,
the
Repeat Number
takes on a different meaning. Instead of being a multiplier of
the
Repeat Period
,
it and the Repeat Period become an index of the set.
These
three fields should be read in conjunction like this:
“Repeat this event every 4
th
Thursday in November.”
Fields in Detail
There is a summary table in the
Scheduled Events
section that lists all the
fields for your reference. Since the
Command
Event, and event Parameter
fields have been discussed, we’ll discuss the rest of the fields here.
T: Start Time
The Start Time is the hour and minute your event becomes active. For most
cases being active simply means gets executed. You can specify it in
military or standard time where 00:00 is midnight, 23:59 or 11:59pm is last
minute of the day something can be scheduled. You can also specify
sunrise
or
sunset
. In order to take advantage of sunrise/sunset calculations in the
TourTraXX, you need to determine you longitude, latitude, and time zone.
