# CSS Clock

The control system environment has unique timing requirements. Most control systems include a specialized hardware timing system for this purpose, which provides the control system computers with event triggers and highly accurate time stamps.

The humans who are dealing with the control system, on the other hand, have so far been poorly integrated, and consequently often suffer from schedule pressure.

The CSS clock provides the people who interact with the control system with a highly accurate clock, fully integrated into the Control System Studio workbench.

In contrast to a layman's 24 hour clock, the CSS clock displays a 25 hour clock face, thereby providing CSS users with an extra hour each day at no additional charge! The above image was taken at what a non-CSS clock would consider 11:45 hours, whereas the CSS clock is clearly ahead of its time, displaying about 12:14 on the 25 hour scale.

Even better: You can change the clock's range from the default 25 hours via the preference pages.
