Alarm Information
Starting with Version 3.4, Caltrain+ has the ability to trigger alarms a specified number of minutes before a train departs or arrives. This is a complex feature that bears further explanation (though the goal is to make usage as intuitive as possible). Here are the details:
- Alarms are recurring (e.g. for commuters who ride the train on a regular basis). For non-recurring alarms there is already the Datebook, and this should be used.
- To set an alarm, start by tapping a time in either the departure or arrival column of a particular train. This brings up the detail popup window, which contains the alarm set/clear button. The button label toggles depending on whether the alarm is set or cleared.
- Next select the number of minutes before the train arrives/departs that you wish to be notified, using the popup to the right of the alarm set/clear button. Currently 5-60 minutes in increments of 5 minutes is supported. The default number of minutes may be specified in the preferences panel.
- Once an alarm is set, the popup is locked and displays the number of minutes selected as the advance notification interval. Clearing the alarm will unlock the popup.
- An alarm will be triggered the specified number of minutes before every train matching the schedule class. I.e., if an alarm is set for a M-F train, it will be triggered every weekday until cleared.
- There is logic for detecting holidays, and an alarm that would otherwise trigger will be skipped on a holiday (e.g. a M-F alarm will not trigger on Labor Day). The holidays recognized are limited to Xmas, Presidentss Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving.
- A train for which an alarm is set is highlighted in red/bold in the display.
- A maximum of 4 alarms may be set concurrently.
- The Alarms Form can be used to 1) see which alarms are set; 2) cancel individual alarms; 3) cancel all alarms.
- This feature works best with the Attention Manager (PalmOS 4.0 or greater). Earlier versions of Palm will work but the notification menu is crude and there is no snoozing or nagging.
- You can only set alarms for a holiday on the day of the holiday, and those alarms will be one-shots (non-repeating). Otherwise there are no restrictions (e.g. you can set a M-F alarm on a Saturday.
Troubleshooting & Known Problems
- "Blank display" (Grid shown but no text): this has been reported on the Treo 600 and 650 models. The cause has not been isolated: it seems to affect only a small number of units, and seems related to firmware (upgrading to a new firmware version has been known to both cause and solve this problem. No known workaround
- Resets after installing Caltrain Application. This is occasionally seen on all models, though again the Treos seem the most susceptible. Here are several things to try (ordered in increasing order of severity) that have been known to work on occasion:
1. explicitly delete Caltrain app from your handheld, and try to re-install
2. extract .prc file from the .zip archive instead of downloading directly (some browsers known to have a hard time handling .prc binaries)
3. Clean out your Hotsync directories. This from a user: "I found the last two versions of the Caltrain application that I was trying to update inside the "Install" folder which was inside my User Folder. For some reason, that application remained in that folder even after I deleted it from the handheld and from the Quick Install application. After I deleted the .prc files from the "Install" folder and rebooted the machine, everything worked normally. I used the Quick Install application and successfully installed the new program that I originally wanted to install"
4. Search your system and delete all instances of the Caltrain .prc files. Then delete Caltrain app from your handheld. Finally download a fresh .zip, extract the .prc, and try to install that.
5. Try using the free dbScan utility on your handheld.
6. Try (soft) resetting your handheld before attempting steps 1-5.
Enhancements:
- Updated to reflect the April 2, 2007 schedule and fares.
- New Features:
- "T" mode for displaying Redwood City Transfers. You select this by toggling the "T", "L", "A" popup thats immediately below the "Caltrain Schedule" header in the upper left hand corner of the main display. In "T" mode, routes requiring a RWC transfer will be displayed in bold green in the Train column. Tapping on Train or Origin columns will give the number of the train you are to transfer to; tapping on the Destination column will give information for the transfer train, including departure time.
- Trains form for displaying all the stops for a train rather than the converse. You can enter this form by either 1) tapping the Trains View button shown in the Schedule Detail form; or 2) selecting Trains in the Commands menu. If you navigate via the Trains View button the schedule for the corresponding will be shown. While in the Trains View, the 5-way navigator will behave the same way as in the main view.
- New abbreviated Help form.
- Bugfixes:
- Corrected a problem where alarms would cause the wrong train (or no train at all) to be bolded.
