The Countdown Timer
An optional feature of standard Random Number Generator games is the use of a
Countdown Timer, which may be displayed on the Summary Screen at the end of
a draw. The timer is used to display the numbers chosen in the draw while count-
ing down a specified number of minutes which is the amount of time a customer
has to register as a winner or to collect their prize. When the countdown period
has expired, the “Time Is Up” Screen will be displayed, and when it has finished
showing the current draw is ended and the Production Unit will automatically re-
turn to Display Mode. See
page 178
for information on creating a “Time Is Up”
Screen.
The number of minutes that the timer will count down is specified by a parameter
entered as described on
page 178
in the
Setting the Random Number Gen-
erator Options
section. Please note that if the Summary Screen is not active,
then the countdown timer will not be utilised. In addition, the countdown timer
will not come into operation if a value of zero minutes is specified for the count-
down period, or if a red cross appears in the
Use Countdown Timer
checkbox.
If the
DRAW
button is pressed while the Summary Screen is still showing and/or
the countdown timer is still in operation, then the random numbers subsequently
selected will continue to be part of that same draw.
If the
END DRAW key is pressed after the completion of a draw when the Pro-
duction Unit is back in Display Mode, then the Summary Screen will reappear
showing the numbers selected during the most recently held draw and the count-
down timer will recommence. If the
DRAW
button is then pressed while the
Summary Screen and timer are still active, then subsequent random numbers will
be selected as a continuation of that draw.
