// add some test data to project
var task1 = project.RootTask.Children.Add("Task 1");
task1.Set(Tsk.Start, new DateTime(2020, 4, 29, 8, 0, 0));
task1.Set(Tsk.Duration, task1.ParentProject.GetDuration(24, TimeUnitType.Hour));
var task2 = project.RootTask.Children.Add("Task 2");

task2.Set(Tsk.Duration, task1.ParentProject.GetDuration(40, TimeUnitType.Hour));

project.Save(OutDir + "SetTimeScaleCount_out.pdf", SaveFileFormat.Pdf);
