CALENDAR COUNTDOWN

The Calendar countdown display a time countdown value, with one second accuracy, when the next event occurrence is in less than 365 days in the future. An option allows to define the time countdown value accuracy:

• Second (default), i.e.: 1 day 25 hours 56 minutes 10 seconds
• Minute, i.e.: 1 day 25 hours 56 minutes
  • if the Calendar countdown value is less than 1 minute, the next event is considered as imminent
• Hour, i.e.: 1 day 25 hours
  • if the Calendar countdown value is less than 1 hour, the next event is considered as imminent
• Day): i.e. 1 day
  • if the Calendar countdown is running the D-day, the next event is considered as imminent

There is 2 main modes:

• Date and time mode: the Calendar countdown displays a time countdown until the programmed Date and time value. Depending on whether the Date and time is imminent (depends on the selected accuracy) or just reached ([00] days [00] hour [00] minute [00] second), the Calendar countdown can display an optional specific content for a while before quitting. Once done, the Calendar countdown quits automatically. When over, if the Calendar countdown is played again, the Calendar countdown displays nothing and quit.
• Calendar variable mode: (check that the variable manager is supported by your Screen Composer G4 version) when using a calendar variable allowing to define a slots start-time/end time, slots validity date and slots recurrency, the Calendar countdown displays the time countdown until the next occurrence. When the start time of the next slot occurrence is reached, the Calendar countdown reaches [00] days [00] hour [00] minute [00] second and quit. Depending on whether the start time of the next occurrence is imminent (depends on the selected accuracy) or just reached, the Calendar countdown can display an optional specific content for a while before quitting. If the Calendar countdown is played again, the Calendar countdown evaluates whether there is a new next slot occurrence. If yes, the Calendar countdown displays the time countdown until the next occurrence again and so on. If not, the *Calendar countdown` displays nothing and quit.

It is advised that the device is on time, with its system clock synchronized through a NTP time server.
The form is not translated for Spanish and Russian languages.
