The Master Scheduling Service (MSS) is the CygNet scheduler. It can be used to schedule UIS command tasks, FMS command tasks, set info keyword tasks, and setpoint tasks. Tasks can be scheduled to be recurring, for a duration, based on a condition, or continuous. A task can be applied to a single device or multiple devices. Blackout periods can be applied to tasks.
