Truncate Seconds
In this example, we get rid of the seconds part from several timer values. We select the "Truncate Only Seconds" mode and get a list of timer values consisting only of hours and minutes in format "hh:mm" (the ":ss" part is removed).

Set Seconds to Zero
In this example, we set the seconds part of each time to zero by first truncating the time to minutes and then appending a zero at the end in place of the truncated seconds. To do this, we switch on the seconds-truncation mode and activate the option to print-zero-time-parts. We also turn off the padding option and get the output time in format "h:m:s", where the seconds are always zero so the final format is "h:m:0".
