These timers were created to help you run events and activities where there are multiple actions that need to be watched and performed.
You have to hit the apply button to save your options
They will become active the next time you start the Timers
You may currently set up to 5 timers for each type: Count Down, Alarm Time and Stopwatch.
For example, set the options for a Count Down Timer (Hour:Minutes:Seconds, Alarm Sound etc) and Hit Set Alarm
What we call an "Active Timer Display" appears at the bottom of the screen.
Make another set of selections and hit Set Alarm and you will see another Active Timer Display
Alarms are numbered sequentially.
Repeating Alarms are given a new number for each repetion.
The display of alarms shifts around as new alarms are added and old ones become inactive
You can type in a short descriptive name for each of the Count Down Timers
The timers are accurate to +- 3 seconds plus the Update Interval.
The Update Interval defaults to 1.
The higher the Update Interval, the more time your computer has to do other tasks;however, it also effects how long it takes for the displays to get updated. So if the update interval is 10 seconds, you can wait up to ten seconds after clicking on one of the 'Set Alarm' buttons to see your 'Active Timer Display'
We use an update interval of 3 seconds in our cooking
If you close the screen, the timers are no longer active.
If you turn down the sound on your computer, it will be very hard to hear the alarms.
Use the Check Alarm Play button to make sure you can hear the ALARMS!
If your computer goes into hibernation or standy, you will not hear your timers.
