Personal Table 2
What is it for​
The Custom2 program allows you to create a seasonal progression starting from a starting date and arriving at a final date.
It helps when you know the photoperiod you want to have at the beginning and what you want to achieve at the end. The device automatically calculates all intermediate steps day by day.

Sunrise and sunset duration​
At the end of the configuration the display asks:

These values indicate how many minutes it takes for the light to rise in the morning and fall in the evening.
Automatic operation​
Once the program is saved, the device calculates the intermediate times between the starting point and the ending point every day.
If, for example, you set a season that starts with sunrise at 08:00 and sunset at 18:00, and ends with sunrise at 06:30 and sunset at 20:00, the device gradually changes the times day after day until the set result is achieved.
The variation does not happen all at once: the photoperiod changes progressively.
