Date Formats

Description

Astro Scheduler Engine is capable of using and generating time/date values in a variety of formats.

The SCHED / UseDayOfYear command controls output formatting for reports, API command responses, and the GUI. The API command interpreter can accept any date format at any time.

Notes on formatting requirements:

  • The number of digits in each part of the formats is fixed; leading zeros are required for smaller numbers.
  • The Command interpreter is sensitive to white space; date formats in API commands that use a space to separate date and time will not be read properly.
