• / (Interval, from ... to)
You can shorten a list by using a slash "/".
7-17/2 in the Hours time field means from 7 am to 5 pm, but only every sec-
ond hour, e.g. 7:00, 9:00, 11:00, ... 17:00. This entry would correspond to the
list "7,9,11,13,15,17".
• /* (Interval, every x ...)
You can combine an interval with an asterisk:
*/10 in the Minutes time field means at every 10 minutes, starting with 0, e.g.
8:00, 8:10, 8:20, 8:30, etc.
For additional examples on time tasks, see the camera help and the reference
manual.
Options
• Inactive: The task has been deactivated, but the definition remains stored in
the configuration.
• Delete: The task will be deleted from the configuration as soon as you click
the Set button.
7.9.3 Scheduled Tasks Using the Time Task (TT) Event
The Time Task Event can trigger an event at the specified points in time. Make sure
that the Time Task (TT) event has been activated in the Setup Menu > Event Set-
tings dialog.
The Time Task event works similar to the Periodic Event. The difference between the
two events rests in the fact that the Time Tasks can trigger events at specific points
in time, whereas the Periodic Event only allows setting an interval between two
succeeding events.
The Time Task event can thus trigger a message or an action (Setup Menu > Mes-
saging, Setup Menu > Actions) or it can trigger the camera's recording feature
(Setup Menu > Recording).
You could use this feature to have the MOBOTIX camera send you an e-mail with
its status information five times a day to check on the camera's status, for example.
Another example: The camera could remove the lock from a door every morning at
8 am by switching its signal input.
