====== Timecode - Start/Stop ======

^ description: | Start/Stop a timecode timer |

The idea is to use a timer as stop watch, e.g. for CO2 cannons. See https://www.facebook.com/groups/Avolites/permalink/1444431649022398/

{{tag>play pause stop timecode}}

==== functions ====
  * [[macros:function:Timecode.Context.Play]]
  * [[macros:function:Timecode.Context.Pause]]

The longer file with macros for all four timecodes is available here: {{ :macros:example:timecode_startstop_full.xml |}}

===== Code =====

<code xml TimecodeStartStop.xml>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<avolites.macros>

===== Explanation =====

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to [[macros:formats_and_syntax#xml_format|Formats and syntax]]

The timer (internal timer) for a particular timecode source (context, one/two/three/four) as started/stopped. Interesting for integrating in a cuelist to check how long a cue is active.

===== How to use it =====

See [[macros:deploying]]. \\ 

E.g. built a cuelist and load the relevant macro into the steps required.
