Just something simple

Let's say "Time Survived:X/Secs"

To do that Create a global variable name it "Time"

Every 1.0 second-Add 1 to "Time"

Or for every min

Every 60 sec-Add 1 to "Time"

Hope that helps

If you want even more accuracy without a timer you can store Browser.ExecJS("Date.Now()") in a variable when the layout starts.

Then, you can Browser.ExecJS("Date.Now()") - variable = milliseconds since the layout started.
