Hi Ollie,
I am assuming you are talking about the Pulse timer because all the other Timer objects (TimeOfDay, etc.) are absolute and do not get affected by the shutting down of Lookout.
In the case of Pulse timer, the only way I see is to create one yourself because the parameters are not writable so you cannot compensate for the shutdown time at run-time.
It's fairly straightforward to create a timer in Lookout. Use the Pulse timer and set it to pulse every second. Create a Counter object and count these pulses. Then create an Expression object that subtracts the counter values from your pre-set value. This will be your new timer and will count down to your pre-set value. For example:
Exp1 = 60 - Counter1
The above is a 60 second timer t
hat starts where it left off when the process was closed. If you want a trigger, you can have another Exp object which goes true when Exp1 = 0, for instance.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Khalid
