Triggers - Conditions

Choosing "Every day" means all years, months and days are in the mask, so they will all satisfy the condition.
Similarly, "Any Time" means all hours, minutes and seconds are in the mask, so any time will satisfy the con-
dition. "Once a week" means only one day of the week is in the mask, so the condition is only satisfied when
tested on that day of the week. Choosing a particular date or time means that only that date or time is set in the
mask, so no other will satisfy the condition.

Using the Advanced mode, you can create more versatile masks:

For example, for the condition to be satisfied between 10pm and 4am, you would highlight all years, months,
days, days of the week, minutes and seconds in the mask, but only set 22, 23, 0, 1, 2 and 3 in the hour mask.
Thus, the condition will only be satisfied when the current hour is between 10pm and 4am.

Another example might be if you wanted the condition to be satisfied in every tenth minute on Sundays. Here, you
would highlight all years, months, days, hours, and seconds in the mask, highlight only Sunday in the Day Name
and highlight 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 in the minutes.

If the operator is set to Before (or After), the condition is satisfied if the current time is before (or after) the time set
in the mask. If the mask contains a unique time (a single value for year, month, day, hour, minute and second),
this should be easy to understand.

If the whole mask is set for a component of the date, that component is always satisfied as being Before (or After)
the current time.

If the mask contains multiple (but not all) values in a component of the mask, only the first set value is taken. For
example, if the day of the week component has Monday and Tuesday set, this is interpreted as being Before or
After Monday.

When the operator is Before or After, the day of week is only considered if every value of the day component is
set (so it will be satisfied on any day of the month).
