Read Stopwatch

 

Reads a running stopwatch and then allows you to leave it running or pause it.

 

Use this in conjunction with a Start Stopwatch action cell, which will have started or resumed the stopwatch earlier in the script. A further instance of Start Stopwatch later in the script may be used to resume the stopwatch if paused by this action cell.
