Timers
On your USR-5 there is the possibility to execute a certain action at a predefined
time and day. This functionality is called a timer.
In ChadEdit it is possible to add a timer to every button, device or macro that is defined. On your USR-5
however timers can only be edited in macro buttons. This means that you can add a “hidden” timer to a device
button, which cannot be edited by the user.
A timer can have a START and a STOP action, each with their own time and day of execution.
How do I create – add a Timer Group?
• Select a Macro Device, press the left mouse key, select the option “Is
TimerGroup”
• Or : Select a Macro Device, on the Menu bar select “Macro Group”, select
“Is TimerGroup”
The Macro Group will now be displayed between the brackets ‘<’ ‘>’
How do I create – add a Timer Action?
A Timer Action – like any other USR-5 action – can be added in an actionlist of a button, a key or a device,
using the properties box.
Only an “alias” action can be assigned as the START/STOP action of a timer. Pressing the “action key” will
open the “Alias” dialog box, from which an “alias” can be selected.
Unlike “USR-5”, ChadEdit only uses a 24-hour clock. The default time displayed in the START & STOP time
is 00:00. Initially, no days are selected.
How do I repeat a timer action weekly?
In the timer edit dialog mark the checkbox labeled “Wkly”. In this case, when a timer action was triggered, it
will be rescheduled at the same day and hour.
You can do this separately for the start and stop actions.
