2.6.4.3 Date/Time
This block allows you to define the time conditions and to provide branches according to the fulfilment of these conditions.
Example:
If you select the parameter “Within a specified time period”, you can define the date as well as the time of day in the next window. If a call is received during this specified period of time, then the output “true” will be selected, otherwise the output ”False” will be chosen.
Under "Properties", all three tabs "General", "Parameters" and "Connections" tabs are available for this block.
This is how you define the parameters for Date/Time

If a condition requires additional information (for example, a day of the week or a time of day), then the information required is underlined in the condition.
