Hello,

I have a iPAQ 3635 running PPC2002.

I am preparing foran Aptitude test (e.g. SAT, GRE), and would like to use my PDA as a stopwatch.

Basically I want to be able to count down 90 seconds then sound an alarm or something. Of course this countdown needs to be able to happen multiple times, e.g. I hit start each time I want to begin a new countdown, or even better the countdown restarts on its own.

Basically I am doing practice exams, so I want to be able to time each question and also keep track of the total time.

I hope you can help.

Thanks
RJ

Jonathan Sach's StopTime (http://home.comcast.net/~jonsachs/) can do most of what you ask for free. :mrgreen:

If you choose StopTime; I use it but with my iPAQ 3845 running PPC 2002, I have to let the PPC time out on its own once I start a stopwatch or countdown timer. If I manually turn off the PPC, the clock doesn't time properly.

But, free is good !

Hi,

I am going to try out the different alarms mentioned on here.

Anyone know how I can add more sounds to my alarms. As things currently stand, I just have the standards beeps as the files I can choose from.

Thanks

You can assign any .wav file to Stop Time. You can get them from a multitide of sources on the web. Google 'xxxxx.wav' if you have a favorite category, like 'pager.wav' or 'siren.wav'. Many are free.
