Creating a Schedule
Tracer SC leads you through the process of creating a schedule for your facility by navigating
through a series of steps and pages, often referred to as a "wizard." If you need help completing
the steps, click the help icon
located on each page. You can create a schedule to control the
following points and applications based on time and date:
•
Binary outputs and values
•
Analog outputs and values
•
Multistate outputs and values
•
Equipment, spaces, and system applications (typically referred to as HVAC schedules).
Points and applications are referred to as
members
when they are assigned to a
s
chedule.
Members can be assigned to only one schedule during the same effective period. Members must
be the correct type; that is, a binary point cannot be included in an analog schedule.
