What would be a way of making clear the distinction between 00:00 min:sec format and 00:00 hour:min format? Due to spacing constraints (driven by specific client specs regarding font sizes; this is an embedded HMI), I can neither use full format (00:00:00) nor is there space for a full min:sec / hour:min pseudo-unit.



I'm thinking of using "h" for the hour:min entries and "min" for the "min:sec" entries, but this not really intuitive.

          You can always leave larger unit with one digit and one letter.


          0m:00 = minute & second

          0h:00 = hour & minute

            You can make something like :



            11h32m


            or



            18m17s


            Which is both short and pretty clear.
