Time Dynamics II — ZEUS Manual

Control Features (Slider)

Unlike the classic panel, the slider in “Time Dynamics II” is spring-loaded:

Center Position: At rest, the slider always remains in the center. In this state, time on the chart is paused.
Hold and Speed: If you grab the slider with your mouse, move it to the right (into the future) or left (into the past), and hold it, time will begin to scroll automatically. The speed of the time change (the step) depends directly on how far you pull the slider away from the center position.
Stop: As soon as you release the left mouse button, the slider instantly snaps back to its original center position, and time scrolling stops. Additionally: Just like in the main version of the tool, if you hover your mouse cursor over any arrow button, you can step through time simply by scrolling your mouse wheel.

By right-clicking on the panel, you open a menu with additional settings:

Load to Event Pool: Allows you to instantly save the current (adjusted) date and time to the Event Pool in the left panel for future use.
Automatically switch dial to the outermost active one: A highly convenient option for predictive work. If enabled, the program will automatically apply time changes to the outermost active dial (e.g., the transit, solar return, or direction dial), saving you from having to manually switch focus to the required dial.
Delay (ms): Allows you to set an artificial pause (in milliseconds) between scrolling steps. This is useful if the time-shifting animation runs too fast and you need to slow it down for a more comfortable visual analysis of the chart.
