I have a problem trying to make the display on the touch panel count down instead of up. The plc I am using is a click One of my timers is marked T3 My Set Point in seconds is DS3, My Current Value = TD3. In my HMI I am using the Numeric Value Display for TD3. Everything is working as it should but I want the value to count down not up on the panel. How do I go about this.

    In a MATH instruction compute DS3 - TD3. Display that.
