 |
This is a program that enables the PC to connect to the
outside world, by using the printer port LPT1. Hardware can then be
connected to the computer to control solenoids, relays, lights and sensors
etc.
Before loading in , change Regional Settings in Control Panel to hh:mm:ss
and disconnect printer. Load program into c:\Timer when asked during
setup.
A directory "Timer" will be created. This program works on WIN95 B version
or better. Can be used on old machines e.g. 486 with 8mb ram.
The program consists of 11 forms. A main form, 8 output forms, 1 input
form and an about form. The main form gives the status of all 8 outputs
and 5 inputs.
The location of each output and input can be altered on this form. Each
output form can be selected by the push-buttons marked 1 to 8 or the
inputs can be selected by the push-button Inputs.
The main form can be minimized so that the user can do other tasks, and
the timing program will still run in the background. All output forms can
be in ON, OFF or AUTO modes.
When in AUTO the output will be on or off depending on the times selected.
Only output 7 will work over the midnight period e.g. 11pm Friday to 2am
Saturday, by selecting start and finish days.
Output 8 can have up to 10 switching times within the 24hr period from
00:00:00 to 23:59:59. Outputs 1 & 2 have an additional pulse timer of 1-60
seconds and 1-60 minutes. The pulse will work regardless of the mode the
form is in, ON, OFF or AUTO.
The Inputs form can have up to 5 inputs. Inputs 1 & 2 can turn on or off
outputs, if outputs are in AUTO mode. Input 3 can turn on or off outputs
for a set time, if the outputs are in AUTO mode. Inputs 4 & 5 can play a
selected sound (.wave file) in windows\media and c:\timer.
TIMER Features
- 8 Outputs, Each with a 7 day Timer ( 0 to 24HRS daily.)
An Output is a connection from the computer to an external device. This
can be anything from solenoids, relays, lights to pumps and security.
These devices can be switched On or Off by the person operating the
computer or by the times set by the program. Each external device can be
controlled in On, Off or Auto modes.
- 5 Inputs that can control devices, to be On or Off. An Input is a
connection from the computer to an external switch. This can be a
doorbell, a sensor or switches etc. These external switches can then be
used to control an external device to be On or Off.
- Can be used on any computer that has WIN95, 98, ME, 2000, NT & XP.
- Able to be minimised to run in background.
- Is user friendly. Our product/service is purchased by corporations,
