Clock Logics

Clock Logics are time-dependent logic sources. They become true at configured dates or times. To configure clock logics, in the project tree, select <Device>/Logic/Clock Logics.

Clock Logics page

You can create up to 20 clock logics, which are active during user defined periods on any day of the week.

Note
If you want to use the clock logics, the device needs to be connected to a time server.

To create a new clock logic, click Add. To delete a selected clock logic, click Remove. Both functions are also available by right-click in the list.

To configure a clock logic, follow these steps:

  1. In the Clock Logics list, select or create a clock logic.
  2. In the Clock Logic area, type an appropriate name in the Label box. This label may be up to 10 digits long.
  3. In the Start time box, type or select a time on which the clock logic becomes active (depending on selected days).
  4. Select the Start days check boxes to choose the days on which the Start time activates the clock logic.
  5. In the End time box, type or select a time on which the clock logic becomes inactive (depending on selected days).
  6. Select the End days check boxes to choose the days on which the End time deactivates the clock logic.

Examples:

In connection with the virtual key functions, you can trigger a key function for a determined point in time without having to push a real button.

Another example could be an automated activation/deactivation of a transmission line, in case the according studio has to be on air only for certain periods of time.
