scheduling a color change for a specific time

Coming up I have an uplighting job where we are only providing lighting. Customer wants the lighting to change at a specific time. In the event that staff is not on site, I want to program and upload a show with the time and date specifics. After setting my date and time info, the program crashes when I try to save the show file. This happens on windows 7 and windows xp.
My next step is to upload the show to the interface.

It also looks like the clock functions do not funtion with the interface run as a stand alone.

Can you confirm if the clock settings are supposed to work in standalone mode as well as pc mode?

I have concluded that the clock settings are software features only. When the interface is used in standalone mode, clock, calendar, and live mode fade times are not transfered and executed by the interface. The software is required for those features to function.
I did notice an issue that might be a bug. I set sequence 1 as a color...set it's start and end time using the calendar feature, then I set fade in and fade out times (3 sec) for it to roll into the next sequence ( second color) at a specified time. Seq 1 starts on time, and executes the fade out into the second seq; however, once the second seq completes it's 3 second fade in time, it pops back to the first sequence (red) where it remains until I change it. I even put a hold time on the second seq, and it performs the same way regardless.

Casey, did you right click on the sequence button on the Standalone view and select "Enable the time triggering feature" ?
Thanks

when you write the memory for standalone mode you have A00,A01,A02 etc... then you add a sequence of any of the A buttons. When you add one (orange color) you right click on it,, and you will see the menu
Let me know
Thanks
