Hi LGN1,

serveral random intervals of availability could be done by expanding one single entry for a searchlight, e.g.:

[Equipment 30]
NodeName=L01
LinkName=REF_small
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

into a number of short intervals with random chosen times like e.g.:

[Equipment 30]
NodeName=L01
LinkName=NULL
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19390101

[Equipment 31]
NodeName=L01
LinkName=REF_small
StartDate=19390102
EndDate=19390119

[Equipment 32]
NodeName=L01
LinkName=NULL
StartDate=19390120
EndDate=19400101

[Equipment 33]
NodeName=L01
LinkName=REF_small
StartDate=19400102
EndDate=19400115

and so on.

But this is risky because of possible typing errors and thus must be done by a program. And I don't know if it's worth the effort. So far, I also don't know what's the max. possible number of [Equipment] entries.

Greetings, h.sie
