Has anyone had any experience with ScheduleBlock Function Block in Machine Expert? I'm now trying to make the q_xOutput coil active by setting the day and time to the current day I posted. I also tried to include the set_rtc function block that has the CFCs of setting the time (I tried to match it with the Windows 10 timestamp ).
