Configure Scheduled Scene Recall

To configure a scheduled scene recall, ensure that the scheduler entry is selected in Scheduler view, and in Properties do the following to configure the entry:

Trigger Time

This is the time at which the scene is called by this scheduler entry.

Time Style

  1. Click in the Time Style field and click .

  2. Select either 'Clock Time' (for 24-hour clock time), 'Dawn Time' or 'Dusk Time' (to set the scheduler entry to activate, i.e. the scene to be called, relative to the pre-determined dusk or dawn times).

Time

If you chose 'Clock Time' in the Time Style field, to set the time at which the scene is called:

  1. Click in the Time field and click .

  2. Enter the time to recall the scene (in hh:mm:ss).

  1. Click to apply the changes. The scene will be called at this time.

Offset (for Dusk / Dawn Time)

Tips:

  • If you select a dusk or dawn time, you can set activation of the scheduler entry to be at an interval before or after the dusk or dawn time, by clicking in the Offset field and entering the time (in minutes).

  • To configure the offset to be before the dusk or dawn time, type minus (-) and then the time.

  • When specifying times relative to dawn or dusk, remember that these times are dependent on the longitude and latitude settings within Designer and may not be suitable for use on a ship, due to the ship's movements. For more information, see Longitude and Latitude, Dates and Times and Daylight Saving Time.

  • Today's official dawn and dusk times are shown in the Today field. These are calculated using latitude, longitude and date.

If you chose 'Dusk Time' or Dawn Time' in the Time Style field, to set the time at which the scene is called (relative to the Dusk / Dawn time):

  1. Click in the Offset field and click .

  2. Enter the time (in mins) before or after the Dusk / Dawn time, at which the scene is called.

  1. Click to apply the changes. The scene will be called at this time.
