Your Hydrawise system can be configured in two separate programming modes: Advanced Mode and Standard Mode. The four charts below describe the features and benefits of each of the modes. For more information on switching modes, click here.
STANDARD MODE allows you to create traditional irrigation programs using Programs A, B, and C — just like Hunter X-Core® or Pro-C® controllers.
IMPORTANT: The controller model HC does not have the STANDARD MODE feature so this dropdown will not appear in the software.

| Industry Standard Programming | Yes |
| Stations can have different run lengths | Yes |
| Multiple start times from the same program | Yes |
| Odd / Even / Interval Watering | Yes |

| Controller Model | # Programs | # Start times per program | Total Start times per controller | Number of concurrent stations | MV allocation by the station |

Use ADVANCED MODE to create irrigation schedules with zone-based programming, enables complex watering programs and small station count, controllers. NOTE: The X2 controller model is not compatible with advanced mode.
