Hi All
Apologies if this is obvious, or has been asked before, but is it possible to use the PC's clock to schedule a sequence, eg I program a pattern/sequence and set it to run at 5pm every day, or even 5pm weekdays, 6pm Saturday and not at all on Sunday.
Thanks
Mike

Re: Real Time Schedule using PC Clock
hi,
yes there is a PC clock schedule.
but you cant add the Day of the week.
so it will allways play the seq on the same time and each day..

Re: Real Time Schedule using PC Clock
Take a look at the lua addon
viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3768
you could then use windows task schedule to launch your script at the right times, or take a look at example two to create your own scheduler.

Re: Real Time Schedule using PC Clock
Many thanks both. I may try the 2nd option later, but to get me started, where do I find the basic PC clock scheduler?

Re: Real Time Schedule using PC Clock
Cheers! I'd seen that page but never realised the significance - doh... I will have a go and let you know how I get on.

Re: Real Time Schedule using PC Clock
OK, an update... I've worked out how to add a sequence to the cue list and time schedule it according to the PC clock, and it works a treat thanks.
However, I am having some difficulty getting it to do what I want it to. Here's a typical scenario:
I want all the fixtures off for most of the day, then to go red for 5 minutes at 17.00. I assume I should therefore set a cue timed for 17.00 to turn them all red, then set a second cue timed for 17.05 to turn all the fixtures off? Individually those 2 sequences work fine, but when I add them to the cue page the off command seems to overrode the on command, so I get nothing. I'm probably going about it the wrong way, but I'd be grateful if someone could explain how I should do it. Thanks
