3:107. Condition formulas can modify the keyword or its boundaries by adding or subtracting time deltas. For
example, to start a schedule 30 minutes before daylight time in the F region, condition Day.Start-30m is used in
the rule. Time deltas can be specified as negative or positive times in hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, or
in schedule iterations (units of schedule duration):
• Time Delta Format 1 (time): [-,+] [Nh] [Km] [Ls] [Mms]
• Time Delta Format 2 (time): [-,+] L.Ms
• Time Delta Format 3 (schedule iterations): Ii
START CONDITIONS
3:108. Table 3-6 lists types of start conditions, in which the schedule starts at the specified time and runs until
another rule condition becomes effective.
