Overview

This section explains how to schedule a program in vixen. These instructions assume you have already sequenced a few songs and have already created a program.

Opening the Scheduler

If Vixen is not already open, go ahead and open it now. Select Programs from the menu bar and then Schedule (see figure 1).


The scheduler window will appear as shown in figure 2. Right click on any time slot on the scheduler and select “Add”. The Timer dialog box should appear (see figure 3). This dialog box is divided into three sections: Item to Execute, Execution Start, and Recurrence. We will address each section in turn.

Selecting an Item to Execute

The Item to Execute section is where you select the program or sequence you want to schedule. There are two buttons in this section:

• Select a Sequence, which activates the Open dialog box with your sequences listed

• Select a Program, which activates the Open dialog box with your programs listed
