Facility Control

I have built a clock in dashboard to count up from 00:00 to 90:00. I have a button to start and stop the clock when needed. I am trying to find a way for the clock to automatically stop at a few specific times, 40:00, 80:00 and 85:00. Then when I click the start button the clock will resume.

If anyone has any advice that would be great. Thanks

Hi Sam,

with a bit of ogscript code you can hook up a timer task to monitor the current timer.

Here's an example that runs a timer and will pause at 5 and 10 seconds. If you open the debug window you can see the timer output and messages appearing at these points.

You can create a new panel and overwrite the contents with the markup below to see this running.

I hope this helps.

Colin.

Thank you Colin this works great.

However when I add in a stop button for the operator to manually stop the clock, when the clock is stopped and then started again the timeToStop moves on to the next timeToStop.

In your example the first time to stop is 00:05. If I was to manually stop the clock before it reaches that time, say 00:03 and then start it again the timeToStop changes to 00:10.

Is it possible for the timeToStop remain at 00:05 even after I stop and start the clock?

Thanks again for your help

Here is my DashBoard if that helps.

Hi Sam

The quickest and easiest way would be to create two states for the Stop button to check to see if the timer is running. I've updated your code and added my example code below.

thanks

Colin.
