TUNETRACKER SYSTEM IN ACTION - TuneTracker commands

# Time-Correct

The Time-Correct is an industry standard radio automation function that is used to help keep your programming running on-schedule. At least once each half hour, a Time-Correct should be included in your format clock. The Time-Correct command tells TuneTracker™ to skip any unneeded events at the time specified, to assure that your programming doesn't "get behind" due to a sequence of unexpectedly long songs or some other unforeseen circumstance. Time-corrects also give TuneTracker™ a frame of reference as to where to begin broadcasting when you first load-in your program log.

Normally a Time-Correct is preceded by some extra music events which TuneTracker™ can freely skip-over if unneeded. When the system clock reaches the time specified by the Time-Correct, TuneTracker will jump past any spare events you have placed onto the log as fill, and make the event following the Time-Correct line the next-to-play. A Time-Correct will not interrupt a currently-playing audio event.

IMPORTANT: Note in the examples below that there is a : (colon) just after the @ sign. Note also that the time shown after the colon is expressed in minutes and seconds. Do not express the hour here, just a colon, followed by minutes and seconds.
