2.5.3 Programmable Timer Pages
The programmable timer can be used to perform such operations as starting and stopping phrase
playback at preset times. Programmable timer settings are read in from the system card.
Note:
Operating the programmable timer requires setting the current time on the AR-3000SD
(Owner's Manual p. 11, "Setting the Date and Time").
The programmable timer can be used to set the following operations (events) to occur at any specified
time.
- Phrase playback
- Phrase recording
- Stopping phrase playback or recording
- Adjusting phrase volume level
- BUSY OUT signal output
- CONTROL OUT signal output
- Time adjustment using an NTP time server
- AR-3000SD control commands
A single-day schedule can combine up to 50 events. You can create up to 14 schedule patterns.
You can save a different schedule for each day of the week (weekly schedule).
You can replace the schedule for a specific desired date with a special schedule (yearly schedule of up to
200 days).
Note:
Schedule settings cannot be made on the AR-3000SD itself.
Use a web browser or the ARE-3000 computer program.
Accuracy of the internal clock:
The AR-3000SD is equipped with an internal clock for programmable-timer operation,
but use jointly with an NTP time server is assumed. Accordingly, the accuracy of the
time kept by the internal clock when using the AR-3000SD alone is not assured.
