Read Time for 15 minutes

how will I be able to make my arduino read data for like a duration of 15 minutes then make it idle for 45 minutes then read data again for another 15 minutes?
Thanks in advance

delay(2700000); // This will cause program to pause for 45 mins.

How do I make arduino read for 15 mins then turns off or idle for another 45 mins, then loops back again and again?

thank you so much guys

are you the same person, or both working on the same project?!?

I think the answer in http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,48946.msg349959.html#msg349959 is really clear.

And the discussion in this thread http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,50111.0.html is worth reading.
