The Save button is disabled by default. After editing the fire serial, the Save button is enabled. After

a serial has been edited in real time, the original serial is split into two serials; a new serial will be

created with the new values in effect. This is to clearly identify previously fired serials before the edit

has taken place and show the new serials with the new values after an edit that are to be fired. The

serial would not split if only the end time is edited.

The serial would split according to the number of rounds calculated for the original serial. This

means that if a serial has been edited without changing the rate of fire, the original serial and the

new split serial’s number of rounds would accumulate to the original number of rounds. The new

split serial would be created accordingly on the timeline.

be edited with a space of three minutes between the activated timeline and the start point of the

serial.

In real time the user can drag the end point of the serial to modify the end time of the serial. When

dragging, the end time is indicated by a yellow tool tip. When dragging the serial, the increment will

snap to the nearest 15 seconds.

Completed serials during a live mission cannot be edited until the whole mission is

completed.
