Set Counter

The Set Counter

1 - Overview

What is the Set Counter?

The Set Counter helps you keep count of the number of sets that you are doing of a workout.

It has an optional rest timer to control the rest time between sets.

It can count up and down in steps of one.

2 - Configuration

How to configure the Set Counter.

Click the Settings tab of the timer.

Changing Settings

To change settings, manipulate the scroll wheels, dropdown boxes and choice buttons to adjust the timer settings. The timer will automatically update to reflect the new settings.

The timer will internally remember the current settings until you change them again or load a stowed configuration (see below).

You do not need to click any buttons to apply the settings. The timer will automatically update to reflect the new settings.

Stowing and Loading Settings

You can easily stow your preferred timer settings for future use. With one click, you can load your stowed settings to quickly configure the timer for your workout.

To stow your settings, click the Stow button and enter a name for the stowed configuration.

To load your stowed settings, click the Load button and then click the entry that you want to load. The timer settings will automatically update with the stowed settings.

To delete a stowed setting configuration, click the Load button and then click the trash can icon of the entry that you want to delete.

If you make changes to the configuration, the timer will not overwrite any of your named stowed configurations. However, it will internally remember the current settings until you change them again or load another stowed configuration.
