At the time I did not know how to set the initial time using Visuino.  I did some research and was able to find the answer.  I thought it was a good idea to share this because setting initial time is a basic task and having more than one way to do that is useful.</p><h3 >PURPOSE</h3><p >Learn to perform a basic Visuino task and in the process understand some other basic Visuino concepts.</p><h3 >WHY?</h3><p >When I researched how to do this I realized that there might be others looking for a way to easily do this.  </p><h3 >INSTRUCTIONS</h3><p >The video above explains how to do everything required.  You will need Visuino to complete this tutorial.  Visuino is free to try.</p>
