Can you do anything with the chronometer?

There is a "Select" button and a "Control" button on the chronometer. Near as I can find they don't do anything and you only have an elasped time displayed (sort of). Are there keys that do anything with the Chrono?

The "chronometer" is not available on all gliders, and, when present, it is merely a "wall clock", it just shows the current time (same as wristwatch)
At the beginning of the flight the it is set to the time indicated in the flight plan.

Generally speaking, no handle/button/switch/knob can be directly moved/rotated/pushed/pulled in the cockpit or on the instrument panel, you have to use a keyboard key, or a joystick axis or button, the list of which can be found in SETUP/INPUT/Assign controls.
If you want a printable list, see there : viewtopic.php?f=29&t=19771&p=169420&hil ... as#p169420

If you need a chronometer, you could use CoTASA

if you need to know the time you can look at your pilots wrist watch (usually the 'e' key)

Thank you. I was hoping for some thing like a "lap time" setting on a stop watch.
