Title: Timers Over D Length
Post by: RBPLC on January 12, 2021, 01:44:30 PM

What's the easiest way to implement a timer that needs to run longer than the D word value (~596 hours I think)?

If you don't need millisecond accuracy, just use $UTC, which is in seconds.

Or link a timer to a counter.  The counter could be x10, x100, x1000, etc.
