Process Purpose
The "Set Timer" process is used to set a timer.
When you add a process, you are required to define its settings. This occurs in the process's properties window which is displayed automatically after having added the "Set Timer" process.
If any subsequent edition is required, double-click the process to open its properties window and enter the necessary modifications.
Fill in the box:
Timer |
|
ID |
Define the timer ID.
The CPU Power Saving features of Android devices (specifically Android 6 or above) may cause the defined timers (which are tick-based) NOT to update as expected. We recommend using a string to set a timer, instead of a numeric value. Ex: A "P_NamedTimer" program variable with "Timer1" as its "Init Value" .

If required, click 
to attach any relevant notes to this process. Click it and enter your notes in the resulting text box. These notes will be displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window (in the "Notes" field) and in the "Developer Report".
After filling in the required options, click 
to conclude or 
to abort the operation.
The added process is displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window.
Use the right-click in MCL-Designer's input boxes to access some related options as well as the general "Cut", "Copy"; "Paste"; "Search" actions (active/inactive according to the current context).
Ex: If you right-click the "Variable" input box (included in a "Conversion's" properties window), you are provided with general editing/search actions and other more specific options such as "Variable Select" (see "Variable Select"); "Variable Insert" (see "Variable Insert"); "Insert Special Character" (see To Insert Special Characters into a Control's Text Input Field) and "Localization Select" (see Localization List).
If you right-click another input box, it may provide other possibilities.
