    Yet another AFS question

    Been trying to figure this out all day. I'm using a virutal outlet VFEED to trigger the feeding cycle. I want my return pump and wavemakers to turn off, then 1:30 later I want the AFS to turn on for two rotations. I want this to happen 3x a day.

    I'm having vfeed come on 3 times a day and i'm programming the return pump and wavemakers to turn off when vfeed is on. This works great.

    When vfeed comes on I want it to turn the AFS on, but I want to use OSC to delay the rotation for 1:30 then I want it to turn twice. The problem I'm having is the feeder rotates as soon as vfeed comes on, it does not wait. Here is my code:

    VFEED:

    If Time 00:00 to 09:30 Then OFF
    If Time 09:33 to 14:30 Then OFF
    If Time 14:33 to 19:00 Then OFF
    If Time 19:03 to 00:00 Then OFF
    If FeedA 000 Then ON

    AFS:

    OSC 001:30/000:30/000:30 Then ON
    If Output VFeed = ON Then ON

    I have also tried this with no change:

    AFS:

    OSC 001:30/000:30/000:30 Then OFF
    If Output VFeed = ON Then ON

    And I've tried using a defer statement as well with the OSC command set to both OFF and ON:

    OSC 001:30/000:30/000:30 Then OFF
    If Output VFeed = ON Then ON

    I'm sure i'm missing something simple, or maybe there is a better way altogether to make this work. Thanks in advance for the help!

    Either way the AFS comes on as soon as vfeed is on.

    For delayed multiple rotations, you need 2 more virtual outlets.

    StartFeed
    Set OFF
    If Output vFeed = ON Then ON
    Defer 001:30 Then ON

    StopFeed
    Set OFF
    If Output vFeed = ON Then ON
    Defer 003:00 Then ON

    AFS
    OSC 000:30/000:30/000:00 Then ON
    If Output StartFeed = OFF Then OFF
    If Output StopFeed = ON Then OFF
