Display and time source number 1 is used for alarm activation in multi-display clocks. 

In addition to day-of-the-week combination codes, Mode 29 also accepts any day 
combination.  A value greater than 128 is treated as a binary command.  Days of the 
week are assigned the following binary numbers: Mon=1, Tue=2, Wed=4, Thu=8, 
Fri=16, Sat=32 and Sun=64.  Any combination of days may be selected by adding 
their assigned numbers together and then adding 128 to that value.  For example, if 
Mon, Wed and Fri are required, then the value would be 149 (1+4+16+128=149).

Alarm Schedule Assignment

Each alarm entry is assigned a schedule number.  If the assigned number equals the 
active schedule number in Mode 37-1, then the alarm time and day-of-the-week 
parameters are evaluated.  By default, every alarm entry is assigned schedule 1.  The 
control program can also be used to change this parameter.
