NAME¶
stopwatch — a stopwatch and timer program
SYNOPSIS¶
stopwatch
DESCRIPTION¶
stopwatch does what its name implies - enables hand timing much like a
physical stopwatch. It can also be used as a countdown timer. Stopwatch has
millisecond accuracy and no artificial limit on hours.
DIRECTIONS¶
Press "start" to start the stopwatch and "stop" to stop it.
"record" records the current time and selects it so that it can
readily be pasted into other programs. Recorded times are marked with an L for
"lap" or T for "total". When stopped, you can
cut/paste/edit the time by hand and set it to any valid time. "zero"
resets the time to zero. Holding down the shift key while pressing record or
zero, records and then zeros the time.
Time moves forward or backward according to the Run menu. By default, time is
stopped automatically when either the lap or total time reaches zero. To
disable the automatic stop, unselect Run -> Stop At Zero.
