### Loading a schedule

To load a schedule click on the corresponding date in the calendar. If you click on SAVE the schedule will be saved to the date shown in the box close to the SAVE button. It is always identical with the last calender date you clicked.

### Remarks about saving

If saving fails, an error message is displayed. If it was supposed to be successful, the schedule of the selected date is newly loaded and displayed.

### Replacing a schedule

You can overwrite a schedule with the schedule from a different date by entering the date in the box close to Load Night and either pressing Enter or the Load Night button.

### Disabled entries

Entries which are at the time the schedule is loaded already in the past, are disabled and cannot be changed. This is because they might already have been processed by the scheduler and are currently executed.

### Color of times

For the current night, entries which are before the current time are displayed in red, entries which are later, are displayed in green. Colors are updated interactively.

### Scheduling

Note that the last entry display in red will most probably the first one executed by the scheduler. If the scheduling is running, it will just replace the next entry in the schedule and be executed completely. If the scheduler is not running, still the last red entry will be the first one to be executed, but since it is the first one executed by the script, the script assumes that it failed and was restarted. Therefore, only the last of its observations (usually data is executed.

### Options

Options are ecoded as JSON object (search google for details). The meaning of their properties is defined by the task to be executed. The starting and closing brace must be omitted. Note that for a correct JSON object, the property names must be enclosed in double quotation marks ("...").
