- # The next token (ERASE) will remove all events from the CP-290

- # programming specific events. This ensures that when the event has
- # passed, it will be deleted. Since every one of your events should
- # be included in this file, there is no need to worry about erasing them
- # now...they will be downloaded automatically.

- # DEFINES can be used to substitute several identifiers. They help
- # make the commands more understandable.
- # For instance, you define COMPUTER as HOUSE A UNIT 8 as follows:
- #
-
- DEFINE OUTSIDE_LIGHTS HOUSE A UNIT 1
- DEFINE LIVING_ROOM_LAMP HOUSE A UNIT 2
- DEFINE BEDROOM_LIGHT HOUSE A UNIT 3
- DEFINE FAMILY_ROOM_LAMP HOUSE A UNIT 4
- DEFINE FLAG HOUSE A UNIT 5
- DEFINE COMPUTER A8
- DEFINE DUSK SUNSET OFFSET 10
- DEFINE DAWN OFFSET -30
-
- # The following DEFINES were commented out:
- #
- #define xmas_computer house a unit 7
- #define red house k unit 1
- #define green house k unit 2
- #define blue house l unit 1
- #define white house l unit 2
-
- # DEFINES must be declared before they are used in this file.

- #──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

- # The following are direct commands that are performed
- # as soon as they are parsed (they are commented out).

- # LATITUDE You must use this command for accurate
- # sunrise/sunset calculations. Positive values
- # are used in the northern hemisphere, negative
- # values for the southern hemisphere.
- # LONGITUDE You must use this command for accurate
- # sunrise/sunset calculations. Positive values
- # are used west of Greenwich, negative
- # east of Greenwich.
- # These values may be obtained from almost any
- # almanac, or consult your nearest library.
- # For Mentor, OH:
- # Latitude = 41°35'
- # Longitude = 81°20'
- #
- # These values must be expressed as follows:
- # 41d35m and 81d20m (or 41°35' / 81°20')

- # The following events will be downloaded to the CP-290 approximately
- # one week before they are scheduled to occur (providing you run XA.EXE
- # every week for updates). They turn on lights for the flag every evening
- # on July 4, and off at sunrise on July 5 (every year). See the

- # The following are a set of commands that are downloaded weekly. See the
- # documentation for full details - but here's a synopsis:
- # Every Sunday morning at 3:00, the computer is turned on via X10. As
- # DOS executes AUTOEXEC.BAT, a utility supplied with this package,
- # POWERUP.EXE will return an ERRORLEVEL of 1 if the current time is
- # within a range that you specify. This errorlevel can then be used to
- # invoke XA.EXE to download another weeks worth of events, or you can use
- # it to call other programs as well, for instance: backup programs,
- # communications, etc. See the documentation for more details.
- #
- # Note the use of the SUNRISE and SUNSET tokens. These tokens will
- # calculate the exact time of sunrise or sunset for your city assuming
- # LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, and TIMEZONE were all entered correctly.
- # This avoids having to constantly enter a new time for your outdoor lights.

- # When used in conjuction with POWERUP.EXE (in AUTOEXEC.BAT)
- # we can automatically download new commands an a weekly basis.
- # For example, sunrise and sunset change from day to day. The X10

- # Additional note: Backups are now performed during this time, as

- SUNDAY ON COMPUTER TIME 3:00 AM
