If ANY display connected to the timing device (internal or external) shows tenths, then you can tell how much time the "clock" has on it to the tenths precision. Use it.

If the board shows 0:00, I'm going to ask the timer if the controller's display has tenths on on it and, if so, what it says. The rule doesn't say which display you must use or how big/small of a display is required....only the "clock"...and the clock includes the controller.
