Title: Timers and Muli-scan Instructions
Post by: dmoyer on February 08, 2014, 01:52:01 PM

Can anyone provide an example of a timer initiating a multi-scan instruction?  I want to send an Email containing ASCI text and variables in memory at a specific interval (1 day).  In testing, I've been able to send the first message, but no messages are sent thereafter on the timer interval ???.

Rather than a timer, I would use the system time and date variables. Do a compare to the hour and then initiate the email.

I agree with ATU. This code sends an email at 5:30PM.
