can a timer only be in seconds?

[maciek]

i am trying to display remaining time on the c more hmi but i only care for seconds and minutes, milliseconds kind of make it confusing. Any ideas? all for brx
click has an easy option

C-more should support setting the resolution of the display of a timer.

As an alternative, use STRPRINT to put the timer into a string in the format you want.

a little late but can you show me how to use strprint and change ms timer to seconds

FmtTMR - Timer Accumulator Formatting Function

FmtTMR(<tmrelement> | <numericelement> [, smart | full], [sec | tenths | hundredths | thousandths])

smart vs. full -
smart - only displays significant hour and minute time values
full - always displays hour and minute values

so
STRPRINT SS0 "FmtTmr(T0, full, sec)"
will display T0 accumulator full hours/minutes/seconds to a resolution of seconds.
So a .Acc value of 0 will be "0:00:00"
.Acc value of 3,600,000 will be "1:00:00"

STRPRINT SS0 "FmtTmr(T0, smart, sec)"
will be
"0:00"
and
"1:00:00"
