Timeline Properties

When creating a timeline, you can define multiple properties.

Name:

The name of your timeline object. For ease of use, consider naming your timeline to describe what happens within it, e.g, calibration.

Type:

The type of the LabMaestro object. In the case of a timeline, the type is locked as “Timeline” and cannot be edited.

BackgroundColor:

Set the background color for your experiment while this timeline runs. By default, the background is set to RGB(0, 0, 0) (Black).

Custom Variables:

Define custom variables that expressions within this timeline can call. You can define any number of variables of the following types, as well as their initial values:

• Integer

• Floating

• Boolean

• Text

• Random Floating

• Color

Overriding Rendering Mode:

Toggle on to allow this timeline to run on a predefined rendering mode, regardless of device properties. This can be useful if your project has multiple timelines requiring different rendering modes.

Rendering Mode:

Specify the rendering mode in which this timeline must run. This is available only when “Overriding Rendering Mode” is toggled on and has a higher priority than the rendering mode defined in your device properties.
