Description

This is a specialized command available in firmware versions 1.142 or later. It is used in BPR|zero logger systems to help implement a more flexible schedule of valve episodes than was previously available.

If desired, the schedule of valve episodes can now be divided into a series of segments. Each segment effectively has its own "start time", and an interval between episodes that can be specified independently of other segments. This command sets or reports the number of segments that will be used during the schedule.

count [= 1...4] reports or sets the number of segments in the valve schedule. The minimum number of segments is 1, and the maximum is 4.

Refer to the valvesegment command for information on accessing the parameters for each segment.

Examples

>> valvesegments
<< valvesegments count = 2

>> valvesegments count = 3
<< valvesegments count = 3
