The Pause button suspends the automatic update of the Timing tab, allowing you to scroll through the current display without changing anything. The test continues running and, if appropriate, writing to the timing file.

The table starts with a Total row showing summary information for the test as a whole. This is followed by one row for every question in the questionnaire.
