With IPNetPower and TimeIsbetween / TimeIntoIntervall it's easy to turn on and off my modem in cycles.

What if I Want to turn on my Modem on Monday and Friday or even just once a week?

If I get it right I can't just set  TimeIntoInterval(9,17,168,Hr) = between 9am and 5 pm once a week/168 hours. Then it would depend on the actual time/ day the logger start up right? If I connect it to the power on Saturday it'll connects every Saturday.

Is there a way to do it?

Pascal

For whom may concern:

When days are used, the first interval starts on a Monday. For example, TimeIsBetween(0,5,7,day) would perform a function every Monday through Friday.

It's in the Online CRBasic help but missing in the CRBasic Editor Help.

Hello Pascal:

Here an example combining TimeIsBetween and rTime (you can define which date of the week to turn on).
Consider that these two functions can be applied to both the cr1000 and cr1000x:

CR1000X Series
'Created by Short Cut (4.4)

'Declare Variables and Units
Public BattV
Public PTemp_C
Public SW12State As Boolean
Public Rain_mm

'Variables dim
Dim rTime(9)                'declare as public and dimension rTime to 9

Alias rTime(1) = Year          'assign the alias Year to rTime(1)
Alias rTime(2) = Month         'assign the alias Month to rTime(2)
Alias rTime(3) = Day_month          'assign the alias DOM to rTime(3)
Alias rTime(4) = Hour          'assign the alias Hour to rTime(4)
Alias rTime(5) = Minute        'assign the alias Minute to rTime(5)
Alias rTime(6) = Second
Alias rTime(7) = uSecond       'assign the alias uSecond to rTime(7)
Alias rTime(8) = WeekDay       'assign the alias WeekDay to rTime(8)
Alias rTime(9) = Day_of_Year   'assign the alias Day_of_Year to rTime(9)

	DataInterval(0,60,Min,10)
	Totalize(1,Rain_mm,FP2,False)
EndTable
