Syntax: hours:minutes.seconds [message] (message optional)
Enter this text (hereafter instructions) into the text box to the left of the "start" button. Or enter the instruction as a command line argument.
Note that there must be a space between the message and the amount of time you wish to count down. The hours:minutes.seconds syntax may be non-standard, but has advantages as a shorthand, as you need only type the digits that you need to set - 0 placeholder values are rarely needed. Lean Count Down can usually guess what you mean, as the examples below show:
Example instructions:
| 30 Stretch | Wait 30 minutes and then print Stretch |
| 3.30 Tea | Wait 3 minutes, 30 seconds, then print Tea |
| 1: Catch Bus | Wait 1 hour, then print Catch Bus |
| 1:30 !shutdown /h | Wait 1 hour, 30 minutes and then shutdown (any command can follow the !) |
Tips:
Lean Count Down accepts input from the command line, which makes it even quicker to load. First make sure LCD.exe is in your path (for instance, place it in c:\windows\system32). Then press WinKey + R on your keyboard and type LCD instructions.
