Function
Each Task also has a Function field. The choice of Functions depends on the Task-Type and the selected
Feature. For example, when you add a Task with the 'Console' Type and set its Feature to 'Jump' then
you can select of the following Functions:

Set

Jump to a Cue number specified in Param1.

Toggle

Jump to between the Cue numbers specified in Param1 and Param2.

Control

Jump to a Cue number determined by the trigger of this action. If this action was triggered
by a MIDI messages then the Cue number is determinded by the MIDI value (in case of a
CC message) or velocity (in case of a NoteOn message).

Switch

Switch to between the Cue numbers specified in Param1 and Param2. If the action was
triggered by a value <50% it will select Param1 and if it's >50% it will select Param2.

Scheduling
An important input Source is the Scheduler. The Scheduler uses the Art SSC's internal, battery backed-
up Real-Time Clock. There are several ways to specify a trigger.

Date and Time

You can use the Scheduler to trigger actions on certain
dates and times. When specifying a date and time it is
possible to choose 'Don't Care' for each value by
entering 'X'. E.g. if you set a date and specify 'Don't
Care' for the year field, this Action will be triggered
each year.

Weekday and Time

Sometimes you would like to define a trigger based on
a day in the week, rather then a specific date. The Art
SSC supports this, it allows to choose any combination
of weekdays and time.

Astronomical Clock

The Art SSC is equipped with an astronomical clock
that based on the day of the year and position on the
globe (as configured in the settings page) calculates
the sunrise and sunset times. This allows you to trigger
events on sunrise or sunset.
