Re: [foxboro] Displaying time left on a timer

I do the same as Dirk. It's easier for other people to read the sequence
code. Also if I am displaying the time to technicians, I always convert
it to minutes.

I always use the start - stop_timer command. It's easy afterwards for =
=3D
other people to read the sequence. I usually also reset the TIMR1V to =
=3D
zero when the timer is stopped. It's a habit

Rgds,

Hi,

related question: As TIM blocks used for countdowns in most of the=3D20
cases, is there any real gain in using START_TIMER() and STOP_TIMER() =
=3D
still?

I usually configure my TIM blocks like this (for the first timer):

TIMER.TIMR1R =3D3D :TIMER.POS_V1.~

...and write (a negative value) directly to TIMER.TIMR1V.
