RE: [ECS] Setting up a RF remote to execute macros gbailey Mon, 5 Oct 1998 22:24:47 -0600

I always start my timers one higher and do a
If Timer Is Now 1
to trigger it off. Saves lots of confusion when timers start out as 0.
It may be unnecessary in many cases, but I do it consistently and save the
inevitable counting on my fingers to figure out why the triggers don't work
:-)

Here's a perfect opportunity to clarify something from Mark (or anyone
else who knows)

I see a potential for failure in the event line:

If Timer Is Now 0

During the first event pass after ECS startup would this logic not be
true?  Therefore light1,2, and 3
would be set to Off?
