Maximum Timer Length

[Bubbler]

What is the maximum length you can set a Timer for? Is it possible to set it to fire every 12 hours let's say?

 

[DrJavaJoe]

65535 is the maximum

 

[Bubbler]

So 12 hours would be 43200 correct?

 

[SonOfEmidec1100]

The settings are milliseconds. ie 65.5 seconds

 

[DrJavaJoe]

Nope, each interval is equivalent to 1 millisecond so 12 hours would be 1000 * 60 * 12 = 720000. If you want even hours, set the interval to 60000 and increment a variable in the Sub Timer1_Timer.

> increment a variable in the Sub Timer1_Timer.

a static variable is good for this!

Take Care

Or you can download the High Performance timer control from the CCRP web page. It has more capabilities than the standard timer control, and it's free.
