Is there a stop watch timer plugin out there?
Hi all,
I'm doing a lot of track racing videos these days and need to find a digital timer I can put on the screen acting as a lap timer (i.e a timer that can show down to at least 100th of a second and preferable 1000th of a second). Now I know since I'm using PAL most of the time, so 1 frame is about 0.04 second but I just couldn't figure out how I can build a FX script to achieve that nor could I find a suitable plugin. I'm pretty sure someone out there would need something like that too, I'm just too ******** at googling things, can someone please help me?
There's just no way to build what you're asking for - a frame is your quanta. The closest you can come - as you said - is .04 of a second per frame. I can think of ways to modify a timecode counter to up a number in .04 second increments instead of frames, but a 100th of a second - +a thousandth of a second+ - no way...

Stop Watch Timer for iRiver Clix
Hi all, I've just finished my first Flash Lite program for my
Clix. It is a Stop Watch timer that I needed for when I run. It
works really well and looks pretty good, too.
You can download it at
www.findjim.com/StopWatch.zip.
Please let me know what you think of it or if you have any thoughts
for improvement. FLA and SWF files are included.
-JimHmm... the "quit" function isn't working now with this latest
version...
Hopefully I'll fix it soon.

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free...... -
N97 no stop watch or count down timer?
There are some basic functions you expect on every phone, not least on the flag ship of Nokia. I havn't had a nokia for a while but my last one had both timer and stop watch, I was really surprised to find these functions were missing and that you have to pay for third party apps to get these functions.
There are several threads on this forum about these apps missing from other S60 models. Are there any plans on releasing these apps or do I need to get the freeking egg timer?Thanks for that, great app! Simple and functional.
It has a bug in it though. When the counter gets down to 5 sec or so, the time changes to 9.59.59. It happened twice the first two minutes I tested the app but I haven't been able to reproduce it now for a while now. Hope it doesn't happen when the cake is in the oven
Still, even though s60 never had these apps, I can't see why they couldn't just start providing providing them. Unless they want 3rd party application programmers to have a really simple app to start with and make some chash to keep them going for more advanced apps.

Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.
Just upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

I'm trying to make a time sheet and include a grid, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to print a full grid on my spreadsheet. There are options for shaded grids but I want a defined grid, and I have spent the last 2 hours looking for the answer. Any ideas?
Hi Cynthia,
Are you planning to have this table do any of the calculation, or is is to be used as the electronic equivalent of a sheet of paper with a grid printed on it—a place to record the data.
For your seven column table:
Are you using one or more rows at the top of the table to label the data below? If so, you might want this row (or these rows) to be set as Header Rows.
Are you using the leftmost column to label the rows? If so, you may want this column to be a Header column.
The default table supplied on the "Blank" templates contains one header row and one header column. If you need more (or fewer) Header rows or columns, select the table, then go Table (menu) > Header Rows > (choose the number you need). Repeat to set the number of Header Columns.
To make a seven column table from the table supplied by default, click on any cell in column H (The eighth column), and drag right to add more cells to the selection, until you get to the last column of the table. With these cells selected, Go Table > Delete Columns.
To make the remaining seven columns fit across a single page:
Go View > Show Print View to show the table as it would appear when printed to paper.
Select the table by clicking its icon in the Sheets List to the left (easy method), OR by carefully clicking on the outside boundary of the table itself (fiddley method).
With the table selected, you will see square white handles at each corner and at the middle of each side (including the top and bottom).
With the mouse, grab the handle in the middle of the right side of the table and drag right (or left) until the table just fits onto the width of the defined page.
With the table still selected, set the thickness and colour of the cell boundaries using the Gaphics Inspector (as described by Jerry), or using the Stroke, Thickness and Color Well controls in the Format bar above the working portion of the Window.
Regards,
Barry -
Using Seagate 2.0 Go Flex .... initial back up just stops at about 2gb .... no message, just stops! any help out there??
I've done the reformat thing .....On another post I saw the suggestion to download EasyFind and use that to search for any Seagate software on my Mac and then remove it.
I did that, removed anything that even mentioned Seagate and .... it worked!
It has been working fine all day and allowed me to shut down the computer without freezing.
So ...... so far so good.
If anyone is about to use a Seagate GoFlex then don't download any of their software!!! -
Problems with a simple stop watch program
I would appreciate help sorting out a problem with a simple stop watch program. The problem is that it throws up inappropriate values. For example, the first time I ran it today it showed the best time at 19 seconds before the actual time had reached 2 seconds. I restarted the program and it ran correctly until about the thirtieth time I started it again when it was going okay until the display suddenly changed to something like '-50:31:30:50-'. I don't have screenshot because I had twenty thirteen year olds suddenly yelling at me that it was wrong. I clicked 'Stop' and then 'Start' again and it ran correctly.
I have posted the whole code (minus the GUI section) because I want you to see that the program is very, very simple. I can't see where it could go wrong. I would appreciate any hints.
public class StopWatch extends javax.swing.JFrame implements Runnable {
int startTime, stopTime, totalTime, bestTime;
private volatile Thread myThread = null;
/** Creates new form StopWatch */
public StopWatch() {
startTime = 0;
stopTime = 0;
totalTime = 0;
bestTime = 0;
initComponents();
public void run() {
Thread thisThread = Thread.currentThread();
while(myThread == thisThread) {
try {
Thread.sleep(100);
getEnd();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {}
public void start() {
if(myThread == null) {
myThread = new Thread(this);
myThread.start();
public void getStart() {
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
startTime = (now.get(Calendar.MINUTE) * 60) + now.get(Calendar.SECOND);
public void getEnd() {
Calendar now1 = Calendar.getInstance();
stopTime = (now1.get(Calendar.MINUTE) * 60) + now1.get(Calendar.SECOND);
totalTime = stopTime - startTime;
setLabel();
if(bestTime < totalTime) bestTime = totalTime;
public void setLabel() {
if((totalTime % 60) < 10) {
jLabel1.setText(""+totalTime/60+ ":0"+(totalTime % 60));
} else {
jLabel1.setText(""+totalTime/60 + ":"+(totalTime % 60));
if((bestTime % 60) < 10) {
jLabel3.setText(""+bestTime/60+ ":0"+(bestTime % 60));
} else {
jLabel3.setText(""+bestTime/60 + ":"+(bestTime % 60));
private void ButtonClicked(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
JButton temp = (JButton) evt.getSource();
if(temp.equals(jButton1)) {
start();
getStart();
if(temp.equals(jButton2)) {
getEnd();
myThread = null;
* @param args the command line arguments
public static void main(String args[]) {
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new StopWatch().setVisible(true);
// Variables declaration - do not modify
private javax.swing.JButton jButton1;
private javax.swing.JButton jButton2;
private javax.swing.JLabel jLabel1;
private javax.swing.JLabel jLabel2;
private javax.swing.JLabel jLabel3;
private javax.swing.JPanel jPanel1;
// End of variables declaration
}Although I appreciate this information, it still doesn't actually solve the problem. I can't see an error in the logic (or the code). The fact that the formatting works most of the time suggests that the problem does not lie there. As well, I use the same basic code for other time related displays e.g. countdown timers where the user sets a maximum time and the computer stops when zero is reached. I haven't had an error is these programs.
For me, it is such a simple program and the room for errors seem small. I am guessing that I have misunderstood something about dates, but I obviously don't know.
Again, thank you for taking the time to look at the problem and post a reply. -
Add Stop Watch in Form using LiveCycle Designer
Hi,
How can I add a stop watch into a Form created with Adobe Live Cycle Designer 8.0?
Basically I'd like the following:
I am creating a read-out form for a radiologic study. So the reader should be able to push a button on the very beginning of the form which should trigger a stopwatch to start. At the very end of the form, there should be a 2nd button which the reader can push when he's finished reading and filling out the form to stop the stop watch which was running in the background. The resulting time should then be displayed and saved in a field for export to Excel later on. Is this possible using JavaScript?
If this doesn't work, alternatively there could be a button to push in the beginning of the form which would put the actual Date/Time in a Field and at the bottom of the Form a second button which would again show the actual date/time in a field. This way I would export the two fields into Excel and then let Excel calculate the needed time to fill out the form.
When I add a Date/Time Field, it updates, whenever someone makes a change to the form.
Thank you for your help,
Olivio DonatiThere is no stop watch per se.... but your technique of getting the time should work here. On the click event of the Start button you will need to record the time in a hidden field (so you can get at it later). On the Finish button you can record the time again and then get the difference between the stop and start time. FormCalc has some built in functions that will change a given time to the number of milliseconds that have elapsed from a specific epoch. You will need this to do the time calc.

Oh no! Not another stop watch question?!?!?!
Hi
This question corresponds to the thread
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Stopwatch-without-pausing-the-program/m-p/828959
The stopwatch.vi cannot be used as a subVI.
How do I get over this issue?
I essentially want to keep the start/stop boolean control as/is as well as the reset boolean along with the "STOP WATCH" numeric indicator.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated oh Knights of LabVIEW!
A student intern cries out desperately for help!

Stopwatch[3].vi 34 KBHi tbob thank you again for your reply
Please refer to the attatched VI.
I am trying to build a VI that will monitor the "ageing" of "lamps" in hours. There are two banks A and B, each having 6 Modules, each having 8 lamps each, for a total of 2 * 6 * 8 = 96 lamps.
I essentially want to monitor the ageing of every single lamp. Which is why I believe using arrays would be an efficient way.
Each module will go through a period of ON/OFF power cycles. All the while accumalating the total hours that the lamp was ON. During this time a lamp can fault (much like a fused bulb) and hence the timer will stop.
The total time that the lamp in ON will be recorded and saved on an external file in the hardisk, so even if the LabVIEW program crashes, the data will not be lost. I should also be able to manipulate the external file in case I want to add/remove hours from that lamp.
I hope this clarifies my purpose.

Hello,
I use Swing timer in my application but it seems that timer.stop() does not work. I put System.out.println("hello") in the method that is the timer's actionlistener and even after I call timer.stop(), it keeps printing "hello". Is there any thing other than timer.stop() that I should do to stop the timer?
Thanks a lotladybean wrote:
Thanks a lot for your reply. Well I only have one timer in the code. Another funny thing that is happening is that the timer gets faster over time. As you and I both know, this shouldn't be happening. I believe that you have one Timer variable, but are you sure that you don't have more than one Timer object? Again, this is just a SWAG, but this would also explain the increased speed over time.
I set the delay time of 1 second but I see that my animation moves faster over time. The reason that I don't upload code is that it's really long and complicated. Maybe I should make it simpler and upload it. This is a very very good idea. We have a construct that's often used here called a SSCCE or "Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example" that helps guide folks in creating a small compilable and runnable version of their problem, and often helps them to see their error for themselves (there's a lot to be said for simplifying the problem to examine it). Please have a look at this link for more details: [http://sscce.org/]
Thanks again though. :)You're welcome. Oh, and if you do resolve this on your own, please post back to let us know what happened and why. Best of luck! -
Is it possible to create a stop watch that the form user can start and stop as many times as needed. When finished, the total time recorded by the stop watch would be displayed.
Example:
User starts the stop watch at 08:08:00 stop watch displays 00:00:00
User stops the stop watch at 08:45:10 stop watch displays 00:37:10
User starts the stop watch at 09:15:00 stop watch displays 00:37:10 (when started but shows time accumulating)
User stops the stop watch at 09:30:25 stop watch displays 00:52:35
Total time recorded is displayed 00:52:35
If someone has an example form, I would appreciate your help. I have seen a stop watch in an Acrobat form but do not know how to convert it to LiveCycle.I understand how to get the current time and the time when the clock is stopped. I also understand how to subtract the numbers and then convert them back to time. I have never used variables. I know where they go and how to create them but do not know how to use them in a script. Is there any chance to could create an example? I need to be able to start and stop the clock several times and end up with the total time recorded.
Does anyone have an example LiveCycle form with a stop watch? Am I the only one who has ever needed this? -
N95, where is the stop watch gone?
I am missing a very usefull utility I have been useng ever since Nokia phones, it is the stop watch with rounds, spiltts etc...
is there an extra aplication arround?There are a few, Handy Alarm I think is one, but when I looked it was like 20 bucks, which I think is way to expensive for what it is.
A cheaper - but so far as I can tell - equally good option is The Time Machine:

It's only $5. I downloaded the 10 day trial yesterday and so far it seems pretty good with a pretty decent feature set.
I had to fiddle about a bit to get the sounds working - there are instructions on the Description page at the above URL - but otherwise it works very well.
Support seems pretty good too: being a fella, I hadn't read the instructions so I actually e-mailed the developer about my sound issue and got a response back the same day. -
Completely new to lab view and need to get some stop watch help please
OK I am new to lab view so please be patient with me. I have a need for a stop watch that is triggered to start when two voltage values differ by more than 0.110V and then stop counting when they return to within 0.110v my goal is to capture the total amount of time the two voltages differ and record it along with the rest of the data is this possible and how would I do it? Thanks I am running 8.5

thanks for the quick response but thats not really enough info to help me as I am very very unfamiliar with lab view and have only been using it for a few days(mainly just plugging in copied sections) so hopefully someone can give me a little more help. But the good news is I am now looking into taking one of the Lab view courses but that probably won't help me with this problem this week. thanks again for your help
For starters, try to write the name correctly. It is LabVIEW, not lab view.
Seriously though, your best way of learning to is try some things yourself first. Look through the examples that ship with LabVIEW for the components Raven suggested (while loops, shift registers, etc.) We could give you a working example but you will learn far more by trying things for yourself. As suggested, try a few things and then post what you have done and what you are having trouble with. From there we can answer your questions rather than just do it for you.

Is there a way to stop titles from fading out, so that on transitions instantly to the next, the way you can set the gap time to 0 so that there is no blank space between tracks on a CD? I thought that changing the duration of the transition time night work, but that only appears to affect the length of time before the title fades out.
Not AFAIK
