+ | [[set]] metric time [ON|OFF|TOGGLE] | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Description: | ||
+ | For the discerning metric snob who turns his nose up at the idea of having to | ||
+ | deal with such baroque concepts as " | ||
+ | Metric Time. Metric Time has only one unit of measure, the Day. When you turn | ||
+ | metric_time on, EPIC begins to do all internal time processing strictly in | ||
+ | milliday units. | ||
+ | antiquated systems, /[[TIMER]], /[[PAUSE]] and /[[SLEEP]] continue to accept | ||
+ | the obsolete unit " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Metric time has no time zone -- Time is measured in millidays since the | ||
+ | beginning of the day in Universal Coordinated Time. The status bar will begin | ||
+ | showing millidays, /[[ON TIMER]] and /[[ON IDLE]] will begin using millidays. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Metric Time is different from Swatch Time because Swatch Time is based on the | ||
+ | time zone of the headquarters of the Swatch company, which is +0100. | ||
