===Timers===

Wintermute has two categories of timer:

==Global Timers==

These are related to the overall timing of your show, and are displayed in the main interface:

  * The [[concepts:Flow]] timer gives the time time since the last full advance. If you are not using a univeral advance, it can be operated manually using the [[commands:timer_commands|relevant commands]].
  * The Clock timer - this looks at the time flow timer and the time associated with the group in the [[commands:flow_commands:flow_clockref|relevant point in the show flow]] to derive a "wall clock" time - which will be the actual time if the show is running to time!


==Zone Timers==

There is a [[commands:zone_commands:start|freely controllable]] timer associated with each zone in the show flow.

They can be used a number of ways:

  * They can be displayed on [[concepts:remotes:]] using ''[[commands:remote_node_commands:node_currenttimer]]'' to give show staff timing feedback 
  * They can function as a timing reference for an MTC stream using ''[[commands:midi_commands:midi_attachtimer]]''
  * They can form part of commands using the ''[[concepts:variables:special|Zone.Seconds]]'' variable
