Hello, all.

Using a portion of a program I found here, I'm having an up/down counter increase value every 60 seconds, to make a minute counter, and that counter triggers another one to count hours.

What I would like to do now is to hold a constant somewhere in the program (say, 2 or 4 or 5 or...) and have the value of a particular counter (the hour counter, for instance) compared to the constant.  When the hour counter's accumulated value >= the constant, then I want to set (latching relay) a flag or an output.

So far, I'm not seeing a way to store a constant, or to compare two values.

Thank you for your help.

Why don't I use the ON function of the counter?  Because I didn't know about it.     I will look into that momentarily.

I try adding attachment "Time_comparison_R1.lsc", and I get a message that says, "invalid file extension."  Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you! 

I believe that's what I'm after.

Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you for that, frantam!

I had seen the Network Analog Input on the list of instructions, but didn't know how to use it.
