External Serial Time Display

English Scripts
1

Hello All,

I have got an Alpermann+Velte time display / clock unit that accepts serial data to display a counter.
For example you can send it a serial ASCII string (every second) in the form of:
12:12:12<CR>
And it will display it.

Is it possible to send something like this directly from mAirlist to the serial port, for example to create a count down timer for the running player?

Kind Regards,
Thijs.

procedure OnTimer;
begin 
  ComPort('COM1').SendStr(FormatDateTime('hh:nn:ss', now) + #13);
end;

procedure OnLoad;
begin
  ComPort('COM1').Open;
  EnableTimer(1000);
end;

Hey Torben,

Great! Thank you for this.
I believe this is for the time of day? Is there also a syntax for the time remaining on a certain player? The last started for example.

Thank you,
Thijs.
