Daktronics Venus 1500 Ver 2.x - Manual (Page 46)

For example, if a message is to run from 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM, two events need to be entered.
Event 1 would run from 11:00 PM (Start Time) to 11:59 PM (Stop Time) and Event 2 would run
from 12:00 AM (Start Time) to 1:00 AM (Stop Time).
Setting the First Date/Last Date
Events may be set to activate only during a specific range of dates.
Highlight the digit to be changed and either enter the desired number
using the keyboard or click on the up and down arrows. The day and
month will increment/decrement accordingly.
The First Date is the first day of the year when the event will run. The
Last Date is the last day of the year when the event will run.
L
Note: The date is like the time in that it does not wrap around. The First Date must be earlier
in the year than the Last Date or the event will not run.
Special Note: The year is not adjustable. The software will automatically change to the next year
at the appropriate time. For example, if a message is to be displayed for the New Year right after
midnight of December 31, set the First Date as January 1. The computer will automatically
change to the next year and display the message.
For example, to run a message on both December 31 and January 1, Event 1 would have a first
and last date of 1/1 and Event 2 will have a first and last start date of 12/31.
Setting the Days of the Week
A blackened box under a day of the week indicates that the
event will run on that day. This option allows individual
days of the week to be selected without creating multiple
entries with Start/Stop times and dates in the schedule.
The Venus 1500 Schedule Studio 6-4
By default, all days are selected. To deselect a particular day,
click on the box underneath it. (This box is a toggle. Click on it again to select the day.) In the
third line, above, the event will run only on Mondays during the specified first and last dates. All
other entries shown will run every day of the week.
Adding a Description
At any time you can enter a description of the schedule. This description
does not change if the events change. The schedule description will be
visible in the Open Schedule dialog box.
