+ *
+ * If no startTime is provided, it will start at 00:00:00.
+ * If an endTime is provided, the chrono will stop and emit an event in the onEnd output when that number of milliseconds is
+ * reached. E.g. if startTime=60000 and endTime=120000, the chrono will start at 00:01:00 and end when it reaches 00:02:00.
+ *
+ * This component has 2 boolean inputs to control the timer: running (to start and stop it) and reset.
+ *
+ * Example usage:
+ * <core-chrono [running]="running" [reset]="reset" [endTime]="maxTime" (onEnd)="stopCapturing()"></core-chrono>
