Break Timer Settings

The Break Timer tab on the settings window allows configuration of when and how the break timer runs.


Timer Options

Break timer starts automatically after delay when dance finishes

When set the break timer will start running automatically after the Auto break start delay period of time has elapsed since the last dance being played finished. This is disabled by default.

Auto break start delay

This is the time period after a dance finishes before the break timer starts automatically. Clicking the up and down arrows change the time in increments of one minute. This value can only be modified if Break timer starts automatically after delay when dance finishes is set.

Length of break

This is the total time of the break. Once the break time has expired the alarm to signal the break is over is triggered. Clicking the up and down arrows changes the time in increments of one minute. This defaults to 15 minutes.
