Removing an Online Program from Test Mode
If you want to continue making changes to an online program that is
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
without accepting the online changes.
