Adjust ->
With the adjust function you can set the feed curve per day.
In these windows you can set the curve for each point. The change points of the curve can be by day,
but can also change after a few days. The number of grams in the curve is calculated from point to
point. In the example, 2800 grams are fed in day 1. The next point on day 5 is 1500 grams. The curve
then decreases until day 5 to the entered number of grams. Then the system takes the next point
and works towards the next point again. In total you can indicate one starting point (day 0), 6 middle
points and one end point. The days after the last entered point keep the same value as the number
of grams at the last entered point.
PLEASE NOTE: If there is still a value at 0 grams under a completed day (1-180),
the curve will decrease to 0 grams !

Start times ->
With this function you can set the start times per location. These are a maximum of six different
starting times. In the top right corner you will see
the current time and the location number you are
editing. The calculated daily amount of the feed
curve is in principle evenly distributed over the
indicated (six) start times. These are randomly
programmable and do not have to be noted in
order of time.
The time noted in the top left is linked to the percentage number.
The percentage (left) can be changed as wanted. You can specifie how many
grams of the total daily portion should be fed at this time in percent.
Example: On the left you have entered 40%, on the right is 1200 and the daily portion is 3200 grams.
Then a portion of 1280 grams (40% of 3200 grams) will be fed at 12:00. The remaining 1920 grams is
evenly distributed over the other starting times.
If you change the feeding times or percentages while feeding has already taken
place on that day, the TF1000 will calculate the remaining daily portion for that day.
On the following day, the TF1000 will simply calculate the entire day. In that case the
daily portion remains the same as the entered daily portion at the curve.
