A set defines a certain range of valid repeat periods. In 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 summarized table in the
File Format/Tutorial
section that lists all the
fields for your reference. Since the Event, and event Parameter fields (E:, 1:,
2:, 3:, and 4: ) have been discussed in detail in the Events in Detail section,
we’ ll discuss the rest of the fields here.
¾
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 specify it in military
time 00:00 is midnight, 23:59, 11:59pm, is last minute of the day something can
be scheduled. You can specify the word BOOT as the field’ s value. This used
to make an event get executed upon every reboot after the start time and start day
have been reached. You can also specify
sunrise
or
sunset
. In order to take
advantage of sunrise/sunset calculations in the Information Station, you need to
determine you longitude, latitude, and time zone. These can be determined from
many websites by typing your
zip code
into a form. Simply do a search for
longitude latitude zip code
in your favorite search engine like www.google.com
to find them out. Then enter them into the Geographic Settings in Information
Station’ s INI file is.ini . Information Station calculates the sunrise/sunset values
and replaces the start time with them.
Example:
T:13:30
T:Boot
T:Sunrise
T:Sunset
¾
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.
