Thanks @Andreas_Dieckmann. One thing that I don’t really get is the “RerunToggle” input. If it is set to **True** sometimes it gets me different measurements? Do I have to let it always in **false**?

Also, if I don’t want to use it in sequence, they don’t work? In some cases I want to just measure for example a python node that has a big process, so, how would you recommend to use it for this particular case?

By the way, in other thread @Kulkul gave a suggestion for measuring time in python nodes:

but I would like to know how can I do it with your nodes, because I think they are a great tool!

Thanks in advance!
