Timer Question
I want to take a countdown timer so that when the operator hits stop and then resumes it, it adds "X" amount of time to the timer and then continues counting down
Example: start time set to 120 seconds, when the timer is stopped at 80 seconds and resumed 60 seconds would get added and the timer would start counting down from 140 seconds.
I have a functioning countdown timer VI, im just not sure the best way to add this function. I also would like to add a reset to reset it to the initial set time.
Thoughts?

Store your set time in a shift register. If the pause button is pressed, you can add 60 to it. You can do something similar with the reset button.
