selectors is the date picker. You can select day with it to set the beginning time and the ending time for the recording

interval.

The second and third units are the hour picker and the minute picker. You can change the hour and minute settings

After you have selected the time period with “Begin time” and “End time” picker, you can apply the period picker, shown

this scheduling information to the editing schedule scheme. Note that only after you click on the “Apply” button, the
