Setting Schedule Attributes
You can set the schedule to have any of the following attributes:
• FLO-MANAGER — the schedule is automatically optimized based on flow
resources. Maxicom
2
will adjust station start times and change the order of
the stations to maximize efficiency.
• Auto-Send — the schedule will be included in the automatic send contact to
the CCU. If you do not select this option, you must send the schedule
manually.
• Protected — the schedule will not be erased when a new send is performed.
If the schedule is not protected, it is automatically erased when a new send is
performed.
To set schedule attributes:
Check the checkboxes for the attributes you want; uncheck the the
checkboxes for the attributes you do not want. You can check as many
attributes as necessary.
Selecting the Schedule Runtime Adjustment
Various settings in Maxicom
2
allow you to adjust the runtime of a schedule. You
can choose one of the following ways to adjust the schedule:
• ET Sensitized — the sum of water used by the plant material and water
evaporated from the soil surface. The computer uses the ET value to
recalculate runtimes.
• Site Water Budget — a percentage number that causes all site runtimes to be
adjusted by that percentage.
• Schedule-Specific Water Budget — a percentage number set for each station
so that each station’s runtime is adjusted by the set percentage.
• Water Budget Macro — a water budget macro you have created in
Maxicom
2
.
• No Adjustment — no adjustment will be made to this schedule, including ET,
Water Budget and Cycle + Soak.
To select the source:
1
Select the radio button for the source you want.

If you select Schedule-Specific Water Budget or Water Budget Macros, enter
the value or name of the macro in the appropriate field or use the scroll
buttons or drop-down list to select a value without typing.
