The Venus 1500 Schedule Studio 105
Start Time indicates the time chosen for a particular message to begin running on the display.
Stop Time indicates the time chosen for a particular message to stop running on the display.
First Date indicates the date chosen for a particular message to begin running on the display.
Last Date indicates the date chosen for a particular message to stop running on the display.
Day Field indicates the days of the week chosen for the message to run on the display if the boxes are
checked (black). The unchecked (white) boxes indicate the days of the week chosen for the message
not to run on the display.
Below are some important ideas to have in mind when creating or editing a schedule:
1.
Messages scheduled to run during the same time frame will appear in the order they
are listed in the schedule.
2. The schedule is limited to 40 entries for Version 2 controllers and 200 entries for
Version 3 controllers. This includes both messages and brightness commands.
3.
When setting start and stop times and dates, the start time/date must be earlier in the
day than the stop time/date. If the start time/date is greater than the stop time/date,
the event will never begin.
4. The year is not adjustable for Version 2 controllers. The software will automatically
advance to the next year at the appropriate time.
5.

7. To choose several non-consecutive lines, press and hold < CTRL > while clicking the
desired lines.
