Make an alarm from the system time.

I have tried a variety of formats to get an alarm at 8:00PM.
For instance, \..\$System.time=20:00:00.0 does not work.
Maybe I need to use the raw value, i.e. 8/13/04 10:40 is 38212.44444477.
Each minute changes by ~ ..00069455 -- yikes.
It seems like it should be a standard thing.

I need redundancy to shut off the superconducting magnet when the liquid helium is low in the evening.

Nevermind, I found the "TimeOfDay" control.

Check TimeOfDay object out. This object generates a logical signal at a given time of the day (Timer offset) and adjustable duration (Timer Duration).

Use it as the condition of the alarm.

I'm sending attached an example.

Good Luck
