Hello,
I'm wondering if it is possible to pause a timer in a protocol for a certain amount of time? For example, if a button is clicked, the timer (or timer group) will pause for 5 mins.
Alternatively, I have seen in the docs (https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/schemadoc/Protocol/Protocol.Groups.Group.Condition.html) that you can use conditions on groups, could I simply use a manual toggle which could start/stop a timer instead?
Thanks!
Hi Carys,
You have the option to start and stop a timer using Actions (start | DataMiner Docs and stop | DataMiner Docs) based on the state change of a button or toggle button (Trigger on change of parameter: Time element | DataMiner Docs). However, it's not possible to define a specific time at which the timer should stop. That said, you can implement logic within the driver to handle a countdown if needed.
Alternatively, you can use conditions on groups linked to a toggle button. In this case, the groups will not be added to the execution queue if the condition is not met.
