- -----------------------------------------------------------
-
- The UID for this program is 1000048E
-
- Released as freeware in August/September '97
-
- To install StopWatch:
-
- 1) Make sure the \System folder is shown on your Series 5 system screen.
- If it's not, enable it in the 'Preferences' dialog.
- 2) Go into \System\Apps and make a new folder called "StopWatch"
- 3) Using PsiWin, copy across all the files from this distribution into
- the new \System\Apps\StopWatch folder.
- 4) That's it! There will be a new icon on your Extras bar.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------
-
- How to use StopWatch:
-
- At the beginning you have to choose between Add Timer, Lap timer
- and Countdown Timer
-
- - The Lap Timer stores lap times. Up to 20 lap times can be displayed and saved.
-
- - The Add Timer adds up time. Up to 20 added times can be displayed and saved.
- I use Add Timer to keep an exact record of journey times.
- For longer journeys switch on SLEEP MODE to save battery!!!
-
- - The Countdown Timer does exactly what it's name says!!!
-
-
- To start the clock press "S" on the keyboard or "Menu" for further options.
-
- The Menu options are:
-
- - Continue > Returns to StopWatch.
-
- - Reset > Resets the whole clock.
-
- - Set Alarm > To set an alarm between 1 sec and 24 hrs.
- This option is not very serious. I use it
- in my photo lab or to boil eggs ...etc.
- The alarm doesn't work in SLEEP MODE.
- [Only available before clock is started]
-
- - Sleep Mode> In case the clock runs for hours and you want
- to save battery. For example to keep trace of
- how long a journey takes, just turn on the Sleep Mode.
- Now you can switch StopWatch into background and work
- with other apps without wasting battery power.
- To reactivate StopWatch just move StopWatch back
- to the screen and press ESC.
- [Only available when clock runs]
-
- - Save Lap > Stores Lap Times or Add Times into an
- /Add ASCII file called LapTime or AddTime.
- Filename can be changed.
- [Only available when clock runs]
-
- This file can be copied into other apps by using the
- Import Option (Word,etc).
- The easiest way to access LapTime files through other
- apps is, by coping the file(s) into the Documents folder.
-
- - Exit > Quits the app and saves laptimes into a file
- called LapTime
-
- After you pressed "S" and starting the clock you can choose between:
-
- Lap Timer:
- ----------
- a) Stop the clock (press "S" on keyboard).
-
- b) To get the lap time (press "L" on keyboard). The first 20 lap times
- will be displayed in a special area. Best lap time is now displayed separately.
- After you pressed "L" the second digit display resets and displays the new
- lap time .
-
-
-
- Add Timer:
- ------------
- a) Stop the clock (press "S" on keyboard).
-
- b) To add time (press "A" on keyboard). The first 20 added times
- will be displayed in a special area.
- After you pressed "A" the second digit display changes into grey and stops.
- Press "A" a second time and the Add Timer becomes black and starts again.
-
