Scheduler
The Scheduler menu item allows you to set up various automated tasks that the scale will
perform on a regular basis. This can include such tasks as making a backup of the entire
system, having the scale automatically reboot, or to schedule a maintenance warning to
remind the operator that a service is due.
The scale is supplied with two tasks set up, a nightly and weekly database backup. These can be
modified, or new tasks can be added, using the scheduler settings menu.
