You can use the Time Display object to show an amount of time, useful for showing either the elapsed time or a count down.
The Time Display object displays the amount of time as specified in
its [Current Value] field.
The [Unit] field specifies the unit of time for each value in the [Current
Value] field.
The [Format] specifies how to display the amount of time.
For example, if [Current Value] is 48,298,463, Time Display object shows the following.
| [Format] | [Unit]: [Sec] (calculates to 13416 hours 14 minutes, and 23 seconds) |
[Unit]: [Milli Sec] (calculates to 13 hours 24 minutes, and 58.463 seconds) |
[Unit]: [100 Nano Sec] (calculates to 4.829 seconds) |
| hhhh:nn:ss | 13416:14:23 | 0013:24:58 | 0000:00:04 |
| hhhh:nn:ss.f | 13416:14:23.0 | 0013:24:58.4 | 0000:00:04.8 |
| hhhh:nn:ss.ff | 13416:14:23.00 | 0013:24:58.46 | 0000:00:04.82 |
| hhhh:nn:ss.fff | 13416:14:23.000 | 0013:24:58.463 | 0000:00:04.829 |
You can also edit the text in the [Format] field to make your own format.
| Format | Description | Display Example |
| h | Hours | hh = 01 |
| n | Minutes | nn = 23 |
| s | Seconds | ss = 20 |
| f | 100 milliseconds | fff = 463 |
| “ “ | Add characters | ss “seconds” = 20 seconds |
If [Current Value] is 7,200,000, Time Display object shows the following.
| [Format] | [Unit]: [Sec] (calculates to 2000 hours 0 minutes, and 0 seconds) |
[Unit]: [Milli Sec] (calculates to 2 hours, 0 minutes, and 0 seconds) |
[Unit]: [100 Nano Sec] (calculates to 0 hours, 12 minutes, and 0 seconds) |
| h:nn:ss | 2000:00:00 | 2:00:00 | 0:12:00 |
| n | 120000 | 120 | 12 |
| s | 7200000 | 7200 | 720 |
