Save Signals To File

If you have successfully fetched signals from a system and want to have a copy of the 

signal set available so you can create and edit events without needing to be connected to a 

Blade, you will want to save your set of found signals. Select Signals>Save Signal File... 

from the menu to open a standard Windows file save dialog. Navigate to the desired folder 

if necessary, choose a memorable name for the file, and click 

OK.

Events

The unit building block used by the schedule as it operates is termed an Event. As 

previously discussed, there are four types of events: the Connect Event, the Disconnect 

Event, the Salvo Event, and the ACI Event. Events are created and edited from the Event 

Properties

 form, as discussed below in the section “Create Events”. Sets of events can 

also be saved in a file for future scheduling.

Load Events From File

If you have previously saved an event set, you can load that set by selecting 

File>Open... 

from the main screen. A standard Windows file open dialog allows you to select a file to 

open. Once the file has been loaded you can begin working with it.

Save Events To File

You may find it desirable to save a set of events you have created. Select File>Save...

 

from the main menu. This opens a standard Windows file save dialog.

Create Events

If you are starting from scratch to create events, select Events>New

 from the main 

menu. This opens the 

Event Properties

 screen, which looks like this:
