# ALGE-Timing D-Line/GAZ

A short video on how to configure scripting for ALGE-Timing D-Lines can be found on the [dbnetsoft YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXYI2v8j8v2SRsVumkpd_1Q):

## Display Blank

This script displays just blank digits:

```
{{ 
    gaz.CreateProtocol("", "", "", "");
}}
```

## Display Clock (w/ seconds)

This script display the current time of day:

```
{{ 
    address = "";
    bib = "";
    rank = "";
    clockString = gaz.Format(Clock, 0, true)
    gaz.CreateProtocol(address, bib, rank, clockString);
}}
```

## Display Clock (w/ blinking separator)

```
{{
    address = "";
    bib = "";
    rank = "";
    
    time = Model.Clock
    formatString = time.TimeOfDay.Seconds % 2 == 0 ? "HH:mm" : "HH mm"
    timeString = Clock | Format formatString 
    
    # Append blanks for .ss.fff
    timeString = timeString + "       "
    
    gaz.CreateProtocol(address, bib, rank, timeString);
}}
```

## Display Countdown

This script will show a countdown when reference is set and in the future. If reference time is not set it will just show the current time of day. If reference time is in the past it will show 0

```
{{ 
    address = "";
    bib = "";
    rank = "";

    if Model.ReferenceTime == null
        # No reference time set
        time = ToTimeSpan 0
    else if Model.Countdown && Model.Countdown.TotalSeconds > 0
        # After Start
        time = Model.Countdown
    else
        # Before Start
        time = ToTimeSpan 0
    end
    timeString = gaz.Format(time, 0, true)
   
    gaz.CreateProtocol(address, bib, rank, timeString);
}}
```

## Display Runtime

This script will show a running time when reference is set and is in the past. If reference time is not set it will show 0.

```
{{ 
    address = "";
    bib = "";
    rank = "";

    if Model.ReferenceTime == null
        # No reference time set
        time = ToTimeSpan 0
    else if Model.Runtime && Model.Runtime.TotalSeconds > 0
        # After Start
        time = Model.Runtime
    else
        # Before Start
        time = ToTimeSpan 0
    end
    timeString = gaz.Format(time, 0, true)
   
    gaz.CreateProtocol(address, bib, rank, timeString);
}}
```

## Display Clock, Countdown or Runtime depending on Reference Time

This script will display different information depending on the reference time:

* If reference time is not set it will show the current time of day
* If reference time is in the future it will show the countdown
* If reference time is in ther past it will show the runtime&#x20;

```
{{ 
    address = "";
    bib = "";
    rank = "";

    if Model.ReferenceTime == null
        # No reference time set
        time = Model.Clock
    else if Model.Runtime && Model.Runtime.TotalSeconds > 0
        # After Start
        time = Model.Runtime
    else
        # Before Start
        time = Model.Countdown
    end
    timeString = gaz.Format(time, 0, true)
   
    gaz.CreateProtocol(address, bib, rank, timeString);
}}
```

## Display Clock, Countdown or Runtime (with different formatting options)

```
{{ 
    address = "";
    bib = "";
    rank = "";

    if Model.ReferenceTime == null
        # No reference time set
        formatString = Model.Clock.TimeOfDay.Seconds % 2 == 0 ? "HH:mm" : "HH mm"
        timeString = Model.Clock | Format formatString
        timeString = timeString | TrimPad 8 "Right"
        timeString = timeString | TrimPad 12 "Left"
    else if Model.Runtime && Model.Runtime.TotalSeconds > 0
        # After Start
        timeString = Model.Runtime | Format  "hh:mM:SS.f"
 timeString = timeString | TrimPad 10 "Right"
        timeString = timeString | TrimPad 12 "Left"
    else
        # Before Start
        timeString = Model.Countdown | Format "hh:mM:SS"
        timeString = timeString | TrimPad 8 "Right"
        timeString = timeString | TrimPad 12 "Left"
    end

    gaz.CreateProtocol(address, bib, rank, timeString);
}}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.dbnetsoft.com/remoteredirect/configuration/operating-modes/display/scripting/examples/alge-timing-d-line-gaz.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
