HVAC schedule name in OpenStudio

Hello everyone! I am new to Open Studio and have a question about HVAC schedule set up in the program. For example, I have a zone level PTHP. On the "Availability Schedule Name" tab will have choices of either Always On Discrete hvac_library or Always On Discrete xxx (numbers). If I want to set up the system running based on occupancy schedule and thermostat, which one should I choose here? And what is discrete 1,2,3,4,5...means? Where can I see these schedules? Didn't find anything from hvac_library.

Many thanks!
