count
The number of repetitions
N
Alarm 1 or 2
Details
The alarm will fire a total of
count
+1 times. If 0 and period is non-zero, the alarm fires forever.
Once an alarm begins, the repetition counts down for each trigger generated. It ends at zero (0). You
must set this repetition back to some value if you intend to reissue the alarm. Otherwise, the alarm
will either not fire (if the period is zero) or fire forever (if period is non-zero).
Example
schedule.alarm[1].repetition = 10
Set the alarm to fire 10 times.

Alarm number (1 or 2)
Details
1588 has too much resolution to represent in a single floating-point value, so the alarm times are split
into two values (seconds and fractional seconds).
Example
local l_myTime
l_myTime = os.time{year = 2008, month = 3, day = 15, hour = 10}
schedule.alarm[1].seconds = l_myTime
Create an alarm to occur on March 15, 2008 at 10 am in UTC seconds.
