Convert Timer to a Int or Real Value

[charles.lin]

Hi,

I would like to have a timer box on HMI, so that the user can input a time on it. However, I don't use this timer to count down. Instead, I would like to take the value, and do some calculation with other input values. I can't find the information about how to convert the timer box's time into an int or real value for further calculation. Please help.

Thanks,

Charles

Both the Preset and Current values of a timer are UINT integers. Just use them directly as you wish or convert them into other types as you would any other integer. I think they are in units of milliseconds.
