Scheduling
Configuration schedules allow information held in configuration slots (see
page 3-80) to be activated at specified times and days of the week. Schedules
operate on a weekly basis.
A schedule includes the following information:
ƒ
A schedule name. When the schedule is uploaded to the RTM device, the
schedule name will be displayed in the Current Schedule field in the
Configuration dialog.
ƒ
UTC Offset (see Scheduling and Time Zones, page 3-96).
The schedule file can be uploaded to RTM devices in many time zones, ensuring
that the configuration files will be activated at the same moment on each device.
It will then contain a number of schedule items, each specifying the following
details:
ƒ
Configuration Slot - the number of the stored slot (1 to 8) to copy to the
'active' slot
ƒ
Load Time - time configuration slot should be copied in the specified
schedule time zone (HH:MM:SS)
ƒ
The days of the week when this is to be applied, This can be a single day, or a
list of days (Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun).
ƒ
Start Error Reporting Holdoff Period (seconds)
ƒ
Stop Error Reporting Holdoff Period (seconds)
ƒ
Start Error Logging Holdoff Period (seconds)
ƒ
Stop Error Logging Holdoff Period (seconds)
The changeover between configurations may cause an excessive number of
spurious errors to be generated. The Error Logging and Reporting Hold-Off
Periods are provided so that logging and reporting of errors can be suspended
before, during and after the changeover, if required.
One schedule item must be specified as the baseline (the first item to be loaded).
This allows the RTM unit to synchronize; if it is switched on in the middle of a
weekly schedule for example.
