Osmac 4.7 to Lynx

    I.m considering the big upgrade in control systems. Many may not remember Osmac 4.7 but I'm sure there must be someone out there who has recently made the move. There is a feature on 4.7 that would allow you to build a Sequence in the 4.7 program. For example, you could build a sequence called "1 fairway" that would sequentially turn on heads for a set period of time, turn them off and turn on the next programed heads and so on. *311*1 was the command. It is very handy if you are out spraying and you wanted to syringe in the fairway, tee or green while moving on to spray the next area.
    While I'm sure there must be a way to make it happen in Lynx, I just want to make sure. Any help would be appreciated
    I hate change, I'd still be running Windows 3.1 if I could

    Why not just use the "7515" command?

    There is a command on Lynx from the hand held that will allow you to do this, even better you can run more than one head at a time if you wish, or on each side of the fairway. However you can't build a program to run from the computer to my knowledge as it flow manages it.

    Because that causes 1 station at a time to sequence through and sometimes depending on pipe sizing I could desire to have 3 stations on at a time to speed up the syringe process. The nice thing about the *311* system was that it overrode the flow management system. I'm sure as Dan says, there is likely a way to do it...I just want to know what it is before I commit

    You can run multiple heads with the 7515 command. An example would be:

    *9 013 7515 0108 0915 1632

    I just started 3 seperate syringes on the same hole

    I went on to the NSN Training on Youtube and I think I have found the equivalent to the old Sequence Command.
    They have something called Instant Programs, so they are temporary programs created to do specialty watering. They are numbered 101 and up and available from the handheld or smartphone. You simply gather those stations into a group, set the run time per station and although it flow manages it will do the required sysringe as efficiently as possible.
    This seems to solve my problem. I knew there must be a way. I am happy now, however deeply saddened by the following news

    Richard Griffiths,Uncle Monty, from Withnail and I, died the other day. He also played the Uncle in Harry Potter. A sad day for Withnail fans.

    I can never touch raw meat until it's cooked. As a youth, I used to weep in butchers' shops!"

    We just switched to Lynx. I don't even use the radio any longer, I run everything from my iPhone. Overall, I really do like the Lynx system.

    Better turn off your eye phone when you doze off later tonight cause there will be Blackberry dialing it every 2 minutes.

    Amerkins are the only people on the planet who could possibly think it's more efficient to use your phone to send a signal to Texas and have them relay it back to your office to turn on a sprinkler on your property!

    Better keep your money flowing to NSN or you will be begging me to sell you my two way Motorola.

    When the Illuminati shut down the WWW, you guys are screwed.

    And, by the way, a few condolences for Uncle Monty would not hurt you, you uncaring bastards

    You know there is a command for the 7515 that can change the default watering time also. From 10 to 5,6 min's etc

    Turning my phone off now as I am feeling sleepy.
    I still use my radio, but I tend to do most of my watering at night so my need for desperation radio commands is minimal.
    NSN IS the Illuminati and it is money well spent, they have promised to protect our borders from the likes of you.
