Are you having trouble getting it to count up instead of down? I think about that a being the big difference, along with having a button to record the current time on the counter maybe.

Yes what happens is that i set it to count up but it goes only upto the specified milliseconds  
What i want is that it should just keep counting on and on until i press stop
