The sample event is programmed to run throughout the month of November, so specify Nov 1,
1999 through Nov 30, 1999 as the date range.
Days of the Week determines on which days of the week within the date range the event will run.
Click off any day when the crawl should not display. Remember, this selection defines the days
for every week within the date range. So if Sunday is deselected, for instance, the event will
never display on any Sunday in the date range.
The sample event runs every day, so leave all the days of the week checked off.
Time determines the time of day that the event should be triggered using a twenty-four hour
clock. The sample event plays the tape machine starting at 4 PM, so specify 16:00:00. Click on
OK. The control event is programmed.
Based on the programming in the sample event, the event will play a tape machine every day at 4
PM during the month of November 1999.
The Leightronix Event window for this event with all the programming would look like the one
pictured here.
A second event would be programmed with similar elements, but with Rewind as the Function
and 16:30:30 as the Time to rewind the deck after play out is complete.
The result of this programming appears on the Schedule window as seen on that window at the
beginning of this discussion. The type of event is noted as Control Event but only the date and
time parameters appear in the Schedule window. No indication of what kind of control event is
scheduled appears on the window.
To find out more information about the event, highlight the event in the Schedule list and click on
Edit Event. That brings up the Leightronix Event window for the event. Event information can
be checked and changed if desired.
Switcher events are programmed in the Switcher area of the Leightronix Event window.
The other parameters in the Leightronix Event window must be accessed as needed to program
the switcher event in the same manner as they were for programming the device control event.
Refer to the steps in the discussion above for the specific details of these operations. Switcher
events are programmed in the Switcher or Router area of the Leightronix Event window.
Switcher events and device control events can be programmed to occur together, in which case
the Controller area would be programmed as appropriate for the device control event desired.
For any event, the Port Number in the Comm Port area must be correctly specified (typically 2).
This is usually set once and left alone for all future operations since it will not change.
The Event Time parameters apply to switcher events just as they do to device control events, so
Start Date, End Date, Days of the Week, and Time parameters for when a switcher event should
be triggered must be specified. If both a switcher event and a device control event are
programmed together, the Event Time specification applies to both.
