   1. In the Heartbeat Interval field, specify a time interval in HH:MM:SS format (1).  For example, if you set the interval to 8 hours and leave the Random checkbox (see 5b) unselected, the macro will be launched every 8 hours.

      If the macro is linked to a time schedule, and the random moment falls out of schedule, no launching occurs.
