Ok all you controller program programming guru's... We just got our AC Jr up and running and I want to program the Kalk stirrer to come on for 5 minutes every 6 hours. I also want the ATO to turn off when the Kalk Stirrer turns on and have it stay off for an hour after it's off for the kalk to settle. We have the ATO plugged in to outlet 7 of the DC8 and the Kalk stirring pump into outlet 8. We already have those outlets named ATO and KAL accordingly. Is there a way besides all the IF and THEN statements? Right now I am thinking:

IF TIME > 02:00 THEN KAL ON
IF TIME > 02:05 THEN KAL OFF
IF TIME > 02:00 THEN ATO OFF
IF TIME > 03:00 THEN ATO ON

And so on for each time we want the Kalk Stirrer to turn on. Anything easier than entering all this code? We have to do it at the head unit as we do not have the link cable to hook it to the computer yet.
 
Yup you got it. Unfortunately you will have to do that for every time interval from the head unit. =( I like to hand write all my code out then as I'm typing it in I put a check mark next to it so I don't duplicate code or forget something and wonder why my lights are on at 130am lol
 
Thanks T1tan. I thought there was a OSC command or something??? but maybe it's only for the Apex models and not the AC Jr. Anyone know about this?
 
Tha AC Jr does have OSC but I'm thinking its only for wave maker timers.

What kind of cord do you need to hook up to your computer? I have 50' of the DIN 8 (believe thats what its called) that doesnt work on my new computer
