138 P Mode Programming SPS-2000 Program Manual v1.30
Time
Time period definitions and time activated functions (Price Levels, Screen Level, Macros, String Reports,
Shifts, and KP Time Periods) are defined with this program.
Time Period
The Time report collects sales information depending upon the time of day. The number of time periods (24,
48, or 96) is selected in memory allocation. By default, time periods are hourly if 24 periods are selected, if
48 periods are selected, sales are accumulated in ½ hour periods, and if 96 periods are selected, sales are
accumulated in 15 minute periods.
If hourly, ½ hourly or 15 minute report periods are satisfactory for your application, no action is necessary
with this program. However, if you wish customize report periods (i.e. define five minute periods during rush
periods or inactivate periods during closed times) you can individually define periods with this program.
All time units are based upon a 24-hour clock (military time).
1. From the PGM mode PROGRAMMING MENU touch TIME to view the TIME selection window.
2. Touch TIME PERIOD to view the TIME PERIOD PROGRAMMING screen.
3. For each period, you can adjust reporting times by touching the time and entering a new time. The
number of periods available for programming will depend on your memory allocation selection.
4. Touch YES or NO to add or remove the period from the report
5. Touch CLOSE to exit the program.
