Multiple cron strings in a single DB Connect input

Is there someway to specify multiple cron strings in the Execution Frequency field for a single DB Input?

I want an input to be run every 10 minutes from Monday 6am to Saturday 10am, i.e.
*/10 6-23 * * 1-5 and */10 0-9 * * 2-6

Many thanks.

try separating them with a comma */10 6-23 * * 1-5, */10 0-9 * * 2-6
Otherwise you might have to create a second input.

Thanks for that. I've tried comma separated and pipe separated, but neither appeared to work for me. Was hoping to avoid creating multiple inputs for the same source, but will do so if there is no other way. Thanks.
