 The end user specifies the simulation start date in the [[simulation settings]] window. The end date is either derived from the duration of the simulation (the end time-the start time), or given by the user. When working with dates Ecolego converts the simulation time to a calendar date. This means that leap years are taken into account.    The end user specifies the simulation start date in the [[simulation settings]] window.

-For dates there are more options than when working with simulation time. You would use either [[time point]] or [[time series]] blocks. The **mode** of the block (date, year, day of year etc.) will influence the behaviour of the event time block.  +For dates there are more options than when working with simulation time.
