Toolbar button on the Standard toolbar.
2. Click the Start Timer button on the GUI Insert toolbar.
3. Type a timer name (40 characters maximum) and click OK. If you start more
than one timer, make sure you give each timer a different name.
4. Perform the timed activity.
5. Immediately after performing the timed activity, click the Stop Timer button on
the GUI Insert toolbar.

Playing Back a Script that Includes Timers
Do the following before you play back a script that include timers:
1. Click Tools > GUI Playback Options.
2. In the Playback tab, clear Acknowledge results.
This prevents a pass/fail result message box from appearing for each verification
point. You can still view the results in the log after playback.
3. In the Playback tab, set the Delay between commands value to 0.
This removes any extra Robot timing delays from the performance
measurement. If you need a delay before a single command, click Insert >
Delay and type a delay value.
4. Click OK.
