Calculate Regular Intervals of Time

A calculator for equal time spans of a day, e.g. wenn something has to be done regularly several times a day. These can be, for example, control tasks or the taking of medication. Enter the number of points in time and the first and last point of the day. The points in time will be calculated to the second in a way so that all have the same time span between. Minutes and seconds doesn't have to be entered, hours of course have to.

Example: you have to take a medication 5 times a day in regular intervals between 8 and 20 o'clock. The points in time are 8, 11, 14, 17 and 20 o'clock. The interval between two points is 3 hours each.

Another example: a production process is to be checked 20 times throughout the day. The times entered are then 0 and 24 o'clock. The first check is at 0 o'clock, the second is at 1:55 and 48 seconds, and so on until the last check at the next midnight.

In practice, it is of course difficult to stick to such a plan exactly, but often you don't have to stick to these intervals very precisely. With medication, it is particularly important to pay attention to the instructions of the doctors and pharmacists and to the instructions on the package insert. For these and all other appointments, it must be decided individually how important exact regularity is compared to the other activities that occur during the day and can get in the way or be disruptive. A calculator cannot of course make such a decision.

For regular intervals that do not extend over a day but over a year, see the Scheduler for periodically recurring dates.
