Schedule Output Without Using MAOC

If you are not using MAOC instructions for scheduled output, you must adjust
O.TimeBase
 manually to create schedule entries. With a specific TimeBase, the schedule time offset is up to ±2.14 seconds.
For example:
  1. An application gets five schedules to send to Module M.
    Current Time = 9:10:05.000000000
    TimeBase = 9:11:08.000000000
    Schedules to send =
    1. 9:10:20.000000000
    2. 9:10:22.000000000
    3. 9:10:23.000000000
    4. 9:10:24.000000000
    5. 10:10:23.000000000
  2. Set TimeBase to 9:10:22.000000000 and send schedule a (with TimeOffset as -2 seconds), b (with TimeOffset as 0 seconds), and c (with TimeOffset as 1 second) to Module M.
  3. Wait until sequence number of a, b, c are echoed back by Module M. Set TimeBase to 9:10:24.000000000 and send d (with TimeOffset as 0 seconds) to Module M.
  4. Wait until sequence number of d is echoed back by Module M. Set TimeBase to 10:10:23.000000000 and send schedule e to Module M.
IMPORTANT:
Once the schedule entries that are based on the current TimeBase are echoed back with the same sequence numbers by the module (this typically happens within 2 RPIs from new sequence numbers are set in the output tag), a new TimeBase can be set to incorporate new schedule entry creations.
IMPORTANT:
Always set Schedule[x].SequenceNumber as the last step of Schedule[x] entry creation in the output tag.
IMPORTANT:
You can monitor Schedule[x].State in the input tag to verify that the schedule is performed correctly.
