Tips
and Tricks
1.
If the event you wish to time is longer than a ten second period, but a
multiple of ten seconds, launch another instance of Countdown Timer™
at the moment the previous launch reaches zero.
2.
To time events that do not take a full ten
seconds, use the following formula to determine your result:
n1 – x = t
Where
n equals the total time (10) and x equals the number displayed by
countdown timer and t equals the amount of time the event took. For example, if you are timing the length of time it takes to
run 10 paces, simply start Countdown Timer™,
run 10 paces (5 paces away from the machine and 5 paces back) and view the
number on countdown timer. Let’s
say the number was 3. The
formula then becomes:
10 – 3 = 7
The
total time it took to run 10 paces was approximately 7 seconds.

Using a combination of the two above tips, you can time any event
regardless of the amount of time desired!
