As much as I would consider adding scan "60 second", and that seems
human readable enough, I would ponder on SCAN="4 hours": when you get
the sample would depend on iocInit time, not necessarily the intented
purpose?
It sounds like a problem SNL would better address, schedule something to
happen at midnight, 4 am etc.

Hi,
The SCAN field is an enum-type. You can alter epics-base and extend the
range of options, but it will remain enum. Are you refering to another
mechanism? 'seq' records allow specifying arbitrary delay DLY<n> when to
process OUT<n> links, but that's also in seconds.
Even though SCAN is enum, the scan task finds the # of seconds (which it uses to delay between cycles) from the menu ASCII name using strtod (see 17.3.1 of the App Dev Guide). This is unusual. It would be nicer if menuScan.dbd had 3 fields for every option - the enum value (index number), the user-friendly name, and the "raw" name which is used by the scan task. But this is a change to epics base and probably not worth the effort.
