¾ T: Start Time
The Start Time is the hour and minute your event becomes active. For most
cases being active simply means “gets executed”. You specify it in military
time 00:00 is midnight, 23:59, 11:59pm, is last minute of the day something can
be scheduled. You can specify the word BOOT as the field’s value. This used
to make an event get executed upon every reboot after the start time and start
day have been reached. You can also specify sunrise or sunset. In order to take
advantage of sunrise/sunset calculations in the DVMHD, you need to determine
you longitude, latitude, and timezone. These can be determined online by
typing your zipcode into many websites. Simply do a search for longitude
latitude zip code in your favorite search engine like
www.google.com to find
them out. Then enter them into the DVMHD.INI file or with the serial or UDP
interface. The DVMHD calculates the sunrise/sunset values and replaces the
start time with them.
Example:
T:13:30
T:Boot
T:Sunrise
T:Sunset
