- TM (Time Mark)
-
-
- Description: Accesses the current date and time and controls a maximum of
- four independent stopwatches. You can use this command to
- record and display the elapsed time for up to four independent
- events.
-
-
- Syntax: Version 3.0, 3.1: TM [START] [STOP] [/C(n)] [/L] [/LOG] [/N]
-
-
- Version 4.0, 4.5: TM [START] [STOP] [(comment)] [/C(n)] [/L]
- [/LOG] [/N]
-
-
- Parameters:
-
-
- START Resets the stopwatch and displays the time and date.
-
- STOP Displays the time and date and the time that has elapsed since
- the last START. This keyword does not stop the stopwatch.
-
-
-
- (comment) The text string you want TM to display either with the date
- and time or with the elapsed time value. TM displays the text
- on the line containing the elapsed time value if you include
- the /N switch. You must enclose in quote marks any text string
- that includes one or more blank spaces. If the text string
- contains a single-quote character, enclose the text in
- double-quote marks. If the text string contains a double-quote
- character, enclose the text in single-quote marks.
-
- /C(n) Selects the stopwatch that TM will use. The value for (n) can
- be 1 through 4. The default value is 1.
-
- /L Places the time display on the left side of the screen. If you
- do not include this switch, TM places the display on the right
- side of the screen.
-
- /LOG Displays diagnostic output as separate (not overlaid) output
- lines that can be redirected to either a printer or a disk
- file. You can send the output to a printer or a disk file by
- including the MS-DOS redirection character ()) followed by a
- printer name or filename at the end of the command.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- /N Prevents TM from displaying the current time and date and
- shows only the elapsed time interval.
-
- Notes:
-
- Because a stopwatch runs until you reset it with the START keyword, you can
- use successive STOP keywords to measure the elapsed time interval since the
- previous START.
-
- If START follows STOP on a command line, TM displays the time that has
- elapsed and resets and restarts the stopwatch.
