Countdown Mode

The Countdown is the alternate operation mode for the Clock. It has a starting time and counts down from there. It can be started, stopped and reset with the UNIVERSE Device. When a Button is connected to the output of the Countdown Label it will be executed as soon as the countdown reaches zero.

Start Time

Auto Reset

Count up

The Control counts up instead of down e.g. to be used as a stopwatch.

Show Hours

If checked the time will include the hours value in the Label. Unchecking the box will result in a time format only displaying minutes and seconds.
