2.9 Scheduling Tasks
Some automatic actions in the 8872 are managed by the
Task Scheduler
, which runs as part of
the background AirVision service. The Task Scheduler has three user interfaces:
Task Scheduler
(
Configuration Editors
> Task Scheduler
) allows you to add, review,
and edit individual and grouped task events.
Task Wizard
(
Configuration Editors > Task Scheduler >Run Schedule Wizard
button
in ribbon at top of screen) allows you to create grouped polling events as well as events
triggered by polling.
Note:
This Wizard is ONLY used for setting a Model 8872 to poll another device, like
an instrument or another Model 8816 / 8832 data logger. It is not related to another
server polling the 8872 itself.
Task Display (Utilities
>
Scheduled Task Status
) is a constantly updating display of
all tasks within the system, including the last time run, next execution time, and errors
experienced during the last run.
