Stopwatch User Guide
What is a Stopwatch?
A stopwatch is a precision tool for measuring elapsed time. Unlike regular watches, it provides start, pause, and reset functions to measure the duration of specific activities. This tool measures down to milliseconds and offers lap time recording to capture split times.
Common Use Cases
1. Sports/Exercise: Recording lap times for running, swimming, etc. 2. Cooking: Precise cooking time measurement 3. Presentation Practice: Managing speaking pace and time 4. Study/Work: Measuring task duration 5. Experiments/Research: Precise reaction time measurement
How to Use
Step 1: Press 'Start' to begin timing. Step 2: Press 'Lap' to save the current time as a split record (can be done multiple times). Step 3: Use 'Pause' to stop timing, and 'Start' again to continue. Step 4: Press 'Reset' to clear all records and start over.
What is Lap Time?
Lap time is a feature that records specific moments while measuring total elapsed time. For example, in a 100m sprint, recording laps at each baton touch point allows you to track both split times for each section and the total cumulative time.
