FTP. See the section about trend data access for detailed information about the retrieval of
this data from the device.

9.5.9 Schedule Control
The schedule control is a specialized control to serve as a schedule configuration editor for
local and remote scheduler objects. Starting with version 4.2.0 of the device firmware, there
are two different UI modes available for this control.
9.5.9.1 Standard Mode
In standard mode, the control displays a list of daily schedules in a very compact format,
suitable for small screens. However, for advanced configurations it may be difficult for the
user to determine the resulting overall time table for a certain date, since the individually
displayed daily schedules must be combined, based on date patterns and priority, to
determine the final events happening on a certain day. In cases where only the basic
weekday schedules and a very small number of exception schedules are used, the standard
UI mode may be appropriate.
NOTE:
In this mode, it is possible to connect more than one schedule data point to the same
control. In this case, the title line will allow the user to select the schedule which he wants
to view or edit.
Please see section 7.2.1 for details about operating a schedule control in standard mode on
the running L-VIS device.
9.5.9.2 Extended Mode
In extended mode, the control provides a calendar and event based view of the schedule
data. There are different pages of information, like for example a weekly overview, a time
table for a certain date, a list of scheduled events for a certain date, or a list of all events
currently stored in the schedule. This mode is suitable for complex schedule configurations,
possibly using LWEB-900 to set up a master schedule.
The user will always see exactly which values are scheduled on a certain date, since the
control combines all the available daily schedules with their date patterns and priorities to
determine the resulting effective schedule. Also, changing the schedule is based on events,
similar to appointments in a calendar, with an effective date (most often repetitive), a start
and end time, a value, and a priority.
