+<p>Thread Group also provides a <b>scheduler</b>.
+ Click the checkbox at the bottom of the Thread Group panel to
enable/disable extra fields
+ in which you can enter the duration of test, the startup delay, the start
and end times of the run.
+ You can configure <code>Duration (seconds)</code> and <code>Startup Delay
(seconds)</code> to control
+ the duration of each thread group and the after how much seconds it
starts.
+ When the test is started, JMeter will wait <code>Startup Delay
(seconds)</code> before starting the Threads
+ of the Thread Group and run for the configured <code>Duration
(seconds)</code> time.
+ Note those 2 options override the <code>Start time</code> and <code>End
time</code>.
+
+ <p>Alternatively (although not recommended as not very flexible) you can
use the two other fields <code>Start time</code> and <code>End time</code>.
When the test is started, JMeter will wait if necessary until the
start-time has been reached.
At the end of each cycle, JMeter checks if the end-time has been reached,
and if so, the run is stopped,
otherwise the test is allowed to continue until the iteration limit is
reached.</p>
- <p>Alternatively, one can use the relative delay and duration fields.
- Note that delay overrides start-time, and duration over-rides
end-time.</p>

Each sampler has several properties you can set.
You can further customize a sampler by adding one or more Configuration
Elements to the Test Plan.
