Stopwatch.
The stopwatch allows time to be recorded and is accurate to the second. It counts from 0 upwards and
can be consulted, paused and restarted at any time. The count can also be accompanied with acoustic
signals.
The main view of the stopwatch contains a dialog, various edit boxes, and buttons to follow the passage
of time, consult the end or interim time, and to start, pause and stop the stopwatch. All commands can
also be executed by selecting the appropriate entry entries from the command menu.
To start the stopwatch, proceed as follows:
1. From the main menu, go to menu item Timers / Stop watch.
2. The main view of the stopwatch will open at a "Time" field giving the elapsed time in hours,
minutes and seconds. When opened for the first time or when a new measurement is begun, this
will read 00:00:00. When a measurement is stopped or paused, the end or interim time will be
displayed.
3. Press the "Start" button to start the stop watch and begin the measurement; the "Start" button will
no longer be available, and the main view will now display "Pause" and "Stop" buttons which can
be used to pause or stop the measurement. When paused, a "resume" button will appear in the
place of the "Pause" button, which will resume the measurement.
4. The time measurement can be accompanied with acoustic signals. Open the command menu by
pressing S3 and then select menu item Tone Signals, and then the corresponding entry.
The "Display End time/Interim" button opens a message which, during a measurement, gives the
5.
interim time at that moment. The command is executed when the measurement is paused, which
gives the interim final time, and when the stopwatch is stopped, which gives the final time.
6. Close the dialog with "OK" to return to the main view.
7. "OK" or "Cancel" will close the stopwatch dialog. If the stopwatch has been started it will continue
to measure time, and any set tones will continue to be emitted; to stop it, the stopwatch main view
must be opened again (from Main Menu, select menu item Timers > Stop watch).
8. When VarioUltra is switched to standby while the stop watch is running, the stop watch will
continue silently.
9. To stop the measurement, press "Stop" in the main view.
Within the open stop watch (main view) the following shortcuts are available:
Start stopwatch = B4
Stop stopwatch = B6
Pause measurement / resume = B5
Consult end or interim time = B8
While stopwatch is running, follow time on the Braille display with command t+B9.
Seconds beep on = B1
10 seconds beep on = B2
No beeps = B7
These shortcuts can be pressed during time measurement.
Once started the stop watch will continue even if VarioUltra is switched to standby mode, or running
another application.
7.3
Alarm Clock.
Four independent alarm clocks can be configured here. Each can be set individually with its own wake-up
time and with the weekday it should ring. Alarms are given as tone signals and/or vibration. The names of
the four alarm clocks, which are also displayed at wake-up time, can be determined by the user. The
alarms are switched off by default.
To set an alarm, proceed as follows:
1. From the main menu, select menu item Timers > Alarm clocks. A dialog will open displaying the
names and status of the four alarms.
2. To amend the settings of, for example, Alarm 1, select its button.
3. Another dialog will open. Use the Check box "Active" to switch the alarm on or off.
