USING
TIMERS
TO
MEASURE
TIME
Obviously,
one of
the
primary
uses of
timers
is to
measure
time. We
will
discuss
this use
of
timers
first
and will
subsequently
discuss
the use
of
timers
to count
events.
When a
timer is
used to
measure
time it
is also
called
an
"interval
timer"
since it
is
measuring
the time
of the
interval
between
two
events.
