<title>Estimated vs. Scheduled Start Times</title>
<para>
When viewing log events in
<command>rdlogedit</command><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>, the displayed
start time style for each event can be either
<userinput>Estimated</userinput> or
<userinput>Scheduled</userinput>, as selected in the
<computeroutput>Show Start Times As</computeroutput> dropdown box.
<userinput>Estimated</userinput> will give start time values
based on any hard start times in the log, taking the known
lengths of the relevant carts, while <userinput>Scheduled</userinput>
will display the start times as provided by an external music and/or
traffic scheduling system.
</para>
<para>
The optimum style to use is largely dependent on how a particular
log was assembled. If the log was generated using
<command>rdlogmanager</command><manvolnum>1</manvolnum> and largely
populated with events from external music and traffic systems, the
<userinput>Scheduled</userinput> style will usually be preferred
as this permits the start times provided by those external schedulers
to be visible. On the other hand, if the log was mostly assembled
&quot;on the fly&quot; in
<command>rdlogedit</command><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>, the
<userinput>Estimated</userinput> style will usually provide more
insight on a log will actually time out when played.
