This section of the program is used to create
Guard Tours
. A guard tour is a predefined
schedule of events that must take place in sequence or at random and within a specified time
period. Typically a guard tour is manually initiated at the PC and a guard begins the tour by
going to the 1st tour station and performing the predefined action at that station. Each
checkpoint of a tour is referred to as a station. A guard tour is a series of stations with a
minimum and maximum amount of time the guard has to execute a predefined function at each
station. The failure to complete the entire tour in the time frame specified will cause an alarm
to be generated at the PC.

maximum Time from Start on each Station to be the same. These times would
be the minimum and maximum time to complete the entire tour.
