Timer formatting in RS5K

scott.lawrence · Apr 11, 2019

DoMore has the ability to format strings, and I can show timer acc as xx:xx once I move the value to a string.

Is this possible in RS5K V24.11 ?

I don't think you can directly change what the timer is displayed as, but you can possibly make an AOI which encapsulates a timer, and has a visible string output string parameter which you change based on your timer countdown.

yeah, I didn't see anything in the help files that would lead me to believe it was possible, but I figured it was worth a shot

Pretty sure there is sample code on the RA site to do just that. I use it often.

I don't have tech connect, and most of the KB articles require it
