The mode of operation is set by the TYPE attribute, which can be ANALOG, DIGITAL, MIXED (both ANALOG and DIGITAL), or TIMER. You can set an ALARM event on the CLOCK and specify an ALARM TIME (in the form of an "HH:MM:SS" string) for the event to occur.

In TIMER mode, a digital timer is created that counts from a time in milliseconds down to 0, or the reverse. You can:

·	Specify the count direction with TIMER DIRECTION

·	Specify the initial count with TIMER VALUE

·	Start the count by setting TIMER STATE to RUNNING

·	Stop the count by setting TIMER STATE to STOPPED

·	Clear the timer by setting TIMER STATE to RESET

A TIMER event occurs when the count completes. You can perform TIMER actions

cyclically by setting TIMER REPEAT to 1.

This event is generated when the time specified by the ALARM TIME attribute is reached

by the CLOCK.

or TIMER VALUE in the count up mode).
