4.10.3 Universal Time Codes and Time Code Groups
The Universal Time Code Editor ( UTE) is a utility that allows you to define, view, and edit UniNet Universal
Time Codes. These time codes can be imported into the NION configuration scheduler. The Universal Time code
Editor provides a method of managing time codes from a centralized utility and allows the user to import and
transfer time codes among various applications. These time codes are defined by the same parameters as time
codes described above. In addition, these time codes can be collected into groups and named. Using this
method, large numbers of time codes can be referenced by a single definition.
The display boxes on the right of the form contain all available time codes defined within the UTE. To add any of
these codes to the NION time codes grid, simply click and drag the desired definition from the display on the right
into the grid on the left.
For more information on the Universal Time Code Editor, refer to section 3.5.7 in this manual.
Holiday Codes
Holiday codes define what dates are considered holidays by a particular site or location. A counter at the bottom
of the holidays form shows the number of currently defined holidays. In addition, a list of common U.S.A. holidays
is provided for ease of use. Selecting a checkbox for a common holiday marks that holiday on the calendar.
To define holidays, select the appropriate calendar to modify from the list box at the top left, and select the dates on
that calendar to define as a holiday, or use the common holidays, which also marks the dates on the calendar.
Keep in mind that every calendar must contain at least one holiday code. Any calendar that does not contain any
holiday codes is not saved by the system.
Holiday codes are commonly used to specify separate time code schedules for set holidays, but like time codes, the
actual usage depends on the application or device in which they are implemented.
Clicking on the Restore button restores the holiday settings present at the beginning of the plug-in session. Once
the plug-in application is closed the previous settings will be lost only if changes have been downloaded (Applied)
to the node. Clicking on the Clear button removes all selected holidays from the screen. The clear command is
local to the current workstation, and only when you click on Apply the workstation sends the updated holiday
settings over the network.
