5.3.2 Scheduling MRC-565 Events
The SCHED command allows you to schedule automated command "events". An "event" simply
consists of giving one or more commands a trigger time. When the MRC-565's real-time clock
reaches the trigger time, the scheduler invokes the command as though you had entered it from
the MRC-565's operator terminal.
Two different types of time trigger options are provided for command scheduling: INTERVAL
and TIME. The INTERVAL trigger allows you to schedule a command to be invoked at
periodic intervals within a 24-hour time period; the TIME trigger allows you to schedule a
command to be invoked only once at a specified point within a 24 hour period. The command
schedule list is restarted each time the real-time clock reaches midnight.
To display the current schedule list, enter:
SCHED
To add a new command to the schedule list, enter:
SCHED,type,time{OFFSET,time},command
where: type = INTERVAL or TIME (I or T)
time = hours:minutes:seconds
OFFSET,hh:mm:ss = time offset from specified timeframe (optional)
command = any MRC-565 command (with parameters)
To remove command event(s) from the schedule list, enter:
SCHED,DEL,xxx
where: xxx = ALL (erases entire schedule)
or
= schedule list number (removes single scheduled event from the schedule list)
You can schedule several command events to trigger at the same time, however, you cannot
force one command to execute before or after another. After assigning command events to the
schedule, the order of commands displayed in the schedule list is the order in which the events
will trigger for any given trigger time (i.e., an event with a low schedule number occurs before
an event with a higher schedule number).
5.3.3 Setting Timeout Duration
There is one programmable time limit for the I/O port input on the MRC-565. MRC
recommends using the pre-programmed default timeout parameter. If you choose to change the
