Time count down problem
Hi,
Please I need help with time count down display.
I am using a state machine. In one of the cases ‘rest’ time is calculated. In the next case the vi waits for the ‘rest’ period to expire before continuing with the next case (the stop button should remain active the entire time). The ‘rest’ time count down should be displayed.
I tried to use Elapsed Time.vi but it works properly only the first time around. Can somebody please help me? I am attaching a sample VI.
Also how can I accomplish displaying the Program Run Time with no interruptions?
Thank you in advance for your advice and help.

It is because you have the Elapsed Time Timer set to Auto-Reset. As soon as the time has elapsed, it will start counting again.
Turn off Auto-reset. Put a True value into a shift register in the state that leads into the DoSomething2, wire that shift register to the Reset input. Let the default be False for all other cases of the state machine.
Now when you get ready to go to that state, the True value placed into the shift register will reset the timer.

I rented the movie Chronicle and it show it playing on my comp, but no audio or video, just the timer counting down, what should I do?
I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.) -
How do I overlay a timer counting down on a Keynote slide?
Hello!
I am searching for a way (app or otherwise) to have a timer counting down while in "full screen" mode in Keynote. I am an urban educator, and I've found it very effective in having a stunning image on the smartboard via Keynote, in order to focus engagement while the students enter my classroom. I would love to also have a timer overlayed on that slide somewhere (right hand corner likely) counting down - so students know how much time they have to socilize and become situated before class "officially" begins.
Appreciate any guidance!

Hi All,
Sorry if i come to the wrong place.
I am thinking to write a code by using JSP to count down Date and Time. I have one field in my microsoft access format as Date/Time. I want to get the remain time by using the time in my microsoft access minus the current time in the machine and then count down the remain time.
Could you please advise??
Thanks for any advise you may give me,

I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestions?
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Additionally, your 24 hours don't start until you begin to watch the movie, you have 30 days to start watching the movie. -
Hey all, i have come to this fourm a few times and every time
i posted help i got it and i got the right help to. So here i am
back again. Now here my problem. i made this count down for a
certain event. (yes i got help from someone) and it works fine i
made all the images it works great,,,so i though then i thought id
experament. So i changed my computers time zone and guess what. The
Time changed on the count down. Can i make my count down'er', count
down from a specific time zone so it will count down and be the
same for everyone? so no matter what time zone you have it will
ONLY be for a certain type of time zone? Heres my Count down so
far;
http://snro.ifastnet.com/wipe.html
And heres the script i have for my count down. Can someone
give me a better code, so it will keep my counter the exact same
just make it count down from only 1 specific Time zone? (AS below)
quote:
stop();
currentDate = new Date();
thisYear = currentDate.getFullYear();
// Date( year, month-1, date [, hour [, minute [, second [,
millisecond]]]])
eventDate = new Date(thisYear, 9, 28, 12);
eventMillisecs = eventDate.getTime();
counter.onEnterFrame = function(){
currentDate = new Date();
currentMillisecs = currentDate.getTime();
this.msecs = eventMillisecs - currentMillisecs;
if (this.msecs <= 0){
play();
return;
this.secs = Math.floor(this.msecs/1000);
this.mins = Math.floor(this.secs/60);
this.hours = Math.floor(this.mins/60);
this.days = Math.floor(this.hours/24);
this.msecs = string(this.msecs % 1000);
this.secs = string(this.secs % 60);
this.mins = string(this.mins % 60);
this.hours = string(this.hours % 24);
this.days = string(this.days);
while (this.msecs.length < 3) this.msecs = "0" +
this.msecs;
if (this.secs.length < 2) this.secs = "0" + this.secs;
if (this.mins.length < 2) this.mins = "0" + this.mins;
if (this.hours.length < 2) this.hours = "0" + this.hours;
while (this.days.length < 3) this.days = "0" + this.days;
for(movie in this){
if (this[movie]._parent == this)
this[movie].evaluateFrameFrom(this);
MovieClip.prototype.evaluateFrameFrom =
function(variableClip){
var nameArray = this._name.split("_");
var numberSet = variableClip[nameArray[0]];
var character = number(nameArray[1]);
var frame = 1 + number(numberSet.charAt(character));
if (this._currentframe != frame) this.gotoAndStop(frame);
Thanks!
Edit** If you can the time zone i need it clocked to is

When watching an item ending in ebay/firefox, the time remaining doesn't count down.
When watching an item ending in ebay/firefox, the time remaining doesn't count down. However I'm sure it used too.
Just an update...
I took my computer into the Apple Store and they gave me a new battery (again). I also erased my hard drive and reinstalled Lion. I am still having the same problem with my battery icon not counting down (when i have the power cord unplugged). Another thing I may have not talked about is when I unplug my power adapter from my MacBook the screen used to dim slightly, It no longer does that. Hmm. And yes I have checked the power settings.
I am seeing a big difference in my new battery though. The 6 month old battery I was using before my replacement wasn't lasting but maybe and hour before completely turning off my laptop. SInce I got my replacement battery I am back to a regular battery life. Maybe a couple issues going on here...
As a fix, I purchased Battery Guard from the app store and placed the icon on my tool bar. It actually counts down my battery life as a percentage. So its a huge help. I just don't know why the native Mac icon isn't working properly?? One thing I have noticed is the 3rd party app will only count down using a Percentage. But, like the native Mac icon it will not count down using time. Something else to add... After using my battery, and I plug my MacBook back in, the battery icon will count up. Kinda strange that it will count up but not down.
Dstppy, any luck at the Apple Store? -
Hello All,
I am in need to implement a <b>count down timer</b> for an online application developed in Webdynpro. The count down timer logic is available as a java script file.
Options tried out till now..
1. Included the the html file with java script into src/mimes/components
2. Create a IFrame and provide the src file as the html file.
Works fine. But ...
- The problem with this option is when any action happens (eg. a button click), the same refreshes the entire view that makes the timer to start from first.
Does anybody have any alternative solutions to implement this functionality. Kindly reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Venkat.Venkat,
Then it seems the scenario is possible without JS at all.
1. Bind <b>delay</b> of <b>TimedTrigger</b> to read-only calculated context attribute of type <b>integer</b>, say its name is <i>Timeout</i>.
2. Define private view controller variable startTime:
//@@begin others
private long startTime;
//@@end
3. In wdDoInit initialize this variable as:
startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
4. In generated getter for <i>Timeout</i> attribute write the following:
return Math.max(1, (int) ( ( System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime ) / 1000 - 7200));
This way TimedTrigger delay will be updated after every client-server request, so even user hit some buttons or links, total delay will be approx. the same. The only way to stop this self-updating timer is to navigate away from view -- answer to questions andl click submit. Otherwise TimedTrigger will fire event.

Uninterruptible count down timer!
Hi
I'm a newbe in Labview and I have the followning problem: When a event occurs a signal should should "stay high" for at least 30 sec.
So I need an uninterruptible count down timer! - that is when an event accours (boolean true/false) a count down timer should start! and NOT stop even when the boolean changes!! I have tried different approaches! and I can figure out have to create a count down timer! but NOT one that keeps going when the boolean "changes back"????? hope you know what I mean?SInce you say "for at least 30 sec", the precision does not seem too important and its not worth to spin fast loops.
You could just grab the current millisecond, then in a leisurly loop check every 500ms or so if the elapsed time exceeeds your timeout.
You could just set an occurence when the event occurs, then use "wait on occurence" with the desired time wired as timeout. Now just wait until it times out.
Another possibility would be to use the timeout case of an event structure.

We are developing an Online Examination System. We are using jsp and servlets.
We need a count down timer which will start as user starts the test. When user refreshes the page during test, timer should continue counting and must not reset the counter. At the end of the test it will submit automatically.
Does jsp provide built in facility to manage timer?Does jsp provide built in facility to manage timer?There is no build in facility to manage timer, but all you have to do is track it at the server end.
ie - not in javascript.
Store a timestamp for the user for when they started the test. Either in session, or in a database.
Then whenever they refresh their page, you look at the current time, the time they started the test and display the appropriate value.
By all means you can have a javascript countdown on the page, but the authorative time should be on the server. -

I need some help. I have a web site that till tell the blight
of cats and
dogs in shelter and rescues that have a short time to live
before they are
put down to make room for other stray pets.
I need a dynamic countdown timer in black with white numbers
that countdown
days, hours, and minutes (possibly seconds for dramatic
effect). Anywhere I
can find such a movie? I found a bunch of cheesy ones online
and a bunch
that do way too much.
When the rescue or shelter moves the pet to LCP status, they
will enter a
date into the database. I need the time to use that as the
starting point
and count down till that date and time arrives. I am using
coldfusion as the
dev coding for the site.
Please let me know where I can find such a movie or how much
it will cost to
have one done.

Rendering pitch and time in multitrack. Counts down to 0 then restarts
rendering pitch and time in multitrack. Counts down to 0 then restarts. After stretching a clip in multitrack I then hit render. It is a big clip stretching from 45 min to 120 mins. It counts down from ver an hour then restarts. Any clues folks?
Are you sure you mean multitrack?
AFAIK, only the Automatic Pitch Correction works in multitrack--and it tries to work in real time rather than rend later. I'm not even offered Time and Pitch as an option in my multitrack effects rack.
