LTC 8850 | Instruction Manual | Allegiant Server
When the Allegiant system processes Time Events, it
does so, in order, from 1 to max event #. If two
different events are scheduled to occur at the same
time, the first one in the table will execute just before
the second one.
Interval
This column determines how often an event will
automatically repeat. The available intervals are: once,
every five minutes, every hour, daily, monthly, and
once a year. A value of once means that the event will
only happen at its exact begin time. Other intervals
specify that the event will occur repeatedly from its
begin time to its end time. An interval of five minutes
means that the event will occur every five minutes.
Other intervals are calculated relative to the begin
time: if a daily event starts at 01/01/92 08:15, it will
execute every day thereafter at exactly 8:15 AM.
Beginning Date/Time
This designates the starting time for an event. A Time
Event function will only occur between its start time
and its end time. An event that is scheduled to take
place only once (see the description of the Interval
column) will happen at its exact begin time. The end
time determines when the programmed event will no
longer be activated when the programmed interval
occurs. This should not be confused with the time
when the event's function will stop. As an example, a
sequence could be started from a time event and
continue running even after the event's end time has
passed. Events can also be scheduled to repeat at
certain intervals such as scheduling an event to be
active from its start time to its end time. To change a
date or time, simply move the cursor to the
appropriate spot and type in the desired date and/or
time. Alternately, right-clicking on the cell brings up a
dialog box to assist in data entry. The Allegiant
processes the Time Event Table once every five
minutes, so the minutes portion of the time must be a
multiple of five.

Ending Date/Time
The end time specifies when a repeating Time Event
should stop. It is entered just like the begin time. To
ensure proper execution of an event, its end time
should not be set to an earlier date than its begin time.
The end date can be set to Forever by right-clicking in
the end date cell and checking the Forever box. In this
case, an end time entry is not needed and not allowed.

Function
Right click in the Function column to display a dialog
box of available functions.
Log
This column indicates whether the execution of a Time
Event will cause a message to be logged to the printer
attached to the Allegiant system.
SMTWTFS
These columns indicate what days of the week an
event may execute. An X means that the event will
execute on that day of the week. A non-checked box
means that this event will not execute on that day of
the week, regardless of its repeat interval.
