Walkerok Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I am working on a program where the customer wants to show seconds only on screen for a timer. Example instead of 4 hours the customer would want to show 14400 seconds. Using the timer on screen I only see the capability to wshow ss or SSSSSS.ss. Am i going to have to do this the hard way by converting standard MI data back and forth to a timer to be able to show this without the decimal places?

MVP 2022 Joe Tauser Posted October 25, 2011 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 For a request like that, I wouldn't even bother using a timer and all the needed conversion blocks. I'd make my own with SB 13, an INC block, and a GEQ block. Then you can give the customer whatever he wants. Unfortunately, standard functions do not meet 100% of all imagined control schemes. Joe T.

Walkerok Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks Joe, I suddenly have words like "forest" and "tree's" dancing through my mind. The answer is elegant and simple, but my brain just could not come to the same conclusion that late in my day. I appreciate it Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
