Remarks

The clock element is used to display a timer, stopwatch, or clock on the screen. The clock is a convenient way to show participants how much time is left to complete the task.

Examples

The following presents a 5-minute timer spanning a block of trials with yellow letters against a black background:

<clock timer>
/ mode = timer
/ resetRate = block
/ erase = false
/ txColor = yellow
/ txBGColor = black
/ timeout = 300000
/ position = (50%, 10%)
/ format = "mm:ss"
</clock>

The following presents white stopwatch with black letters that spans a single trial:

<clock stopwatch>
/ mode = stopwatch
/ txColor = black
/ txBGColor = white
/ format = "hh:mm:ss"
/ position = (50%, 90%)
</clock>
