RTM_TimerCalc V1.31 includes many changes and added abilities. This post reveals some of the changes and added abilities you'll find when it is released.
PARAMETERS AREA
- Some controls moved to better fit UI space (see previous and next Image).
- Desired or Requested Output now called 'Ask'.
- Clock edit-box relabeled for cases of "Custom Crystal Frequency".
- Added push-button to call up Limits Report.
- Scientific Notation will use lower-case 'e' instead of upper-case 'E' to better stand out against numbers.
- You can Copy-Paste text edit boxes, right-click to select the Paste-menu-item.
- You can use Undo-Redo menu-selections for edit box numbers (may not work after a paste).
- Units drop-down now shows: Hz, uSec, mSec, Second, Minute and Hour.
- The Units drop-down has a context-menu to convert Ask from any supported Unit type to any other supported Unit type.
MESSAGE WINDOW
- Shows Limits-Report when Show-Limits button enabled and clicked.
- Shows a columned Mini-report for all calculations performed (or an error message).

NEW SETTINGS

- Allow Info: set False to disable info text.
- Extra pixels: customize Output mini-report for more or less space between columns.

DOUBLE-CLICK PARAMETER LABELS
