The PAC Mate Stopwatch can measure both elapsed and countdown time. Use the elapsed timer to measure the amount of time it takes to complete an event. Use the countdown timer to mark the time remaining in an event.
To use the Stopwatch, go to the Start Menu (WINDOWS Key) and press P for Programs, then S for Stopwatch.
To view the lists of commands specific to the Stopwatch program, please see Appendix A: PAC Mate Commands.
