If Interval is specified in the request, then the entire request will be repeated during the night. To do so the VISIBLE window will be chopped into multiple windows and each window will be scheduled. The BEST window will also be splintered into multiple windows each placed in their respective VISIBLE windows.
NOTE: all the windows must be successfully scheduled for the request to be scheduled; if any fail, the entire request will not be scheduled.
Determining how many pieces the window will be chopped is complex:
- If you have specified UTStart or SunStart then you must also specify Count>1 in the request. The VISIBLE and BEST windows will then be identical (forcing them to be scheduled at that time alone) starting on the requested times and lasting for the BlockTime, additional Count windows will be generated delayed by the requested Interval time.
- If you have not, the count will be determined by dividing the length of the VISIBLE window by the Interval.
