This Perl integration example contains two components, 'Perl Start Timer' and 'Perl Stop Timer' which allow you to time each data record or whole sections of a protocol in milliseconds.

There's also an example protocol to show the two different ways to time a protocol.

You can start / stop as many timers as you like and give each timer a name.

If you stop a timer you haven't started an error is generated.

If you start a timer which has already been started an error is generated (but you can turn this off if you want).
