Daily Report Interval Function
DailyRptInterval 24
The Daily Report Interval function is used to set the number of hours between
scheduled reports for any given day that reporting is to occur for the current
transmitter. Unlike the OR function used with weekly reporting and monthly
reporting. The scheduled reports per day is an AND function. What this means is
that if the daily report interval for the current transmitter is set to zero. Then no
scheduled reports for this transmitter will ever be sent. Similarly, if the daily report
interval is set to 4 hours (or anything greater than zero), but no days of the week
or days of the month are set, then again, no scheduled reporting for this
transmitter will take place. Both a day setting (weekly or monthly) and a non-zero
daily report interval setting must be in place for scheduled reporting to occur. If
The daily report interval is set to 24, then only one report per day will be sent for
days that meet the weekly or monthly scheduled reporting requirement.
First Daily Report Hour Function
First Report Hour: 1
The First Report Hour setting is used to set the hour of the day for the first report
for any given day that meets the weekly or monthly scheduled reporting
requirement. This is useful in circumstances where a given transmitter scheduled
report is desired at the beginning of a workday. For instance, the first report hour
can be set to 7. In this case the scheduled report will take place at about 7AM, in
time for that business days’ operation.
Once the first report has occurred, then the daily report interval timing is applied
for the next report to occur that day. For example, if the first report hour were set
to 7, and the daily report interval were set to 6. Then for a day that meets the
weekly or monthly scheduling requirements, the first report would be sent at
about 7AM, the next report that day would be sent at 1PM. Then another report
at 7PM. The next six-hour interval would put the next report at 1AM the next day,
so no more reports would occur on this day. The next day, the scheduled
reporting rules, which may be the same or different, are applied for that day.
