Each of the dual timers can be used to time events triggered by Timer 1, Timer 2, or the Mic fader open signal. Additionally, the upper timer is used to display the time and the lower timer to display the date. The illumination pattern of the red LEDs indicates the timer's display mode. The date and time can be synchronised with a highly accurate internal clock or, optionally, from an external source, MSF, DCF, SMPTE, or an RS232 time code string.
