When you operate the assigned switch, the stopwatch
starts from the set initial value, counting down (“Timer
function”). When the set time has elapsed, the timer
does not stop, but continues to run so that you can read
off the time elapsed after reaching zero. To make this
clear, the over-run time is shown highlighted (inverse
video).
