on all of the time-measuring ojbects - [timer] [cputime] [realtime] - the help files all explicitly state that these objects cannot be stopped and then resume at the same point. is there an object that can in fact do this? for example, start timing, stop at 2500 milliseconds, then start timing again at 2500 seconds.

mhh, for what kind of application do you need that? wouldn't simply a [metro] based counter do the trick?

i'm trying to write to a larger array but at small increments - e.g. record 20000 samples, stop, then start recording again at sample 20001. so i need some way to keep track of where i last stopped in the array. i had envisioned using some sort of timer device and scaling the time to reflect samples.
