scheduler

   I have an all lights on static sequence for right now setup through the sequencer. It is suppose to start at 5:30 and stop at 11. It starts correctly every night at 5:30, but when 11 rolls around it stays on. I waited till 11:30 and it was still on, I had to stop the sequencer to make the lights turn off. What can be done?

	Are you sure you have it set up correctly? I've never seen an issue with the timer shutting off the sequence correctly. If you still have an issue try something like a software PC shutdown timer Edited by peteandvanessa - 25 Nov 2008 at 3:51pm

	Yea, know... I had the same thing, I wanted the show to run one time, so I had it run from 7:00PM to 7:15PM and it just kept looping. I haven't tried it out for real yet. Not what I'm worring about at this point.
	Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. D-Light users Unite!

	Something strange is going on then, since if I enter say 5 sequences (in the loop area of the scheduler) and set it for 10-11pm, then it will get to 11pm (run the last sequence) and then stop. It's never kept looping

	Are you by chance using that "undocumented feature" which keeps the lights on between songs? If so, this is why your lights are staying on... that undocumented feature will also hold them after the scheduler ends as well. To get around this you will need to create a "end of night" sequence to send the off commands.

	Thanks Logan... I just created an end sequence and have it in place to see if that fixes the problem... Will let you know later.
