RND in Wavemaker function...

[gman19]

Suppose one has the statement:

RND 5/15 ON/OFF THEN WM1% ON

This should generate a random pattern for WM1%...correct?

But if the following statements are placed within the program...

IF TIME > 20:00 THEN WM1% OFF
IF TIME > 08:00 THEN WM1% ON

Would the pump WM1% simply run from 8am to 8pm, or would the program still generate a random pattern between 8am and 8pm??

The goal here is to have my wavemaker system active only during the day and go inactive at night.

I also plan to disable them during feed mode for target feeding.

Anyone tried this or have an opinion?

Try this:

If Time > 08:00 Then DAY ON
If Time > 20:00 Then DAY OFF

RND 5/15 ON/OFF Then WM1 ON
If Timer DAY = OFF Then WM1 OFF

No timer Day?

In the example given, timer DAY is a dummy timer (i.e. not corresponding to an actual outlet) you create using an unused bus address, such as P01

DAY%-P01

is there a way to make this only happen between 9AM to 10PM
RND 010/010 ON/OFF Then WM1 ON
RND 010/010 ON/OFF Then WM2 OFF
If Timer WM1 = OFF Then WM2 ON

Then everything on until back to 9AM?
