4.1.1.3 Editing and Erasing a Rule
To edit a rule you can either double click on it, select a rule and click on the edit rule
button, or select a rule and select Edit Rule… from the Rules menu. The appropriate edit
form (discrete, cyclic, or rollover) will automatically be selected. Edit the rule to your needs
and close it with OK to apply the changes or with Cancel to discards them.
To erase a rule, you can either select a rule and click on the erase rule button or select a
rule and select “Erase Rule…” from the Rules menu. The erase rule command supports
the selection of multiple rules: By holding the Shift key while clicking on a rule you can
select a range of rules and by holding Ctrl you can add individual rules to your selection.
4.1.2 Create Beacon Schedule
This command is used to create schedules for the VHF beacon. It is similar to the Create GPS
Schedule, but only allow cyclic rules with no frequency are allowed, so there is only one
command to add a rule. The frequency shown in the rules list is always zero, since the beacon
will be on the entire time span (see Figure 34). The beacon pattern can be configured in
4.4.3.6 VHF Beacon Pattern. When all End Dates of the VHF scheduler are outdated, the
VHF beacon is switched off.

4.1.3 Create Argos Schedule
The Argos schedule is a two levelled schedule: the first level defines periods and a loop
duration per period and the second level defines transmission times in a loop of a
period. This scheme is clearly visible in the layout of the form (see Figure 38). The periods
are shown in the upper list while the On Times of the currently selected period are in the
lower list. Below the On Time list is a graphical illustration of the selected Period's loop.
