in Test Mode, you must first take it out of Test Mode. You can do this
by using the Quit Test Mode command from the Online menu.
Taking a program out of Test Mode removes the changes from the
Processor. The modified rungs are no longer running on the
Processor; the original rungs are now executing.

the timer is reset when you remove the program from Test Mode
