The text in the User Guide is like :"Oh, its something about a free running counter, incremented by hardware probably every 0.25 microseconds (or maybe 8 times that amount - depends on your understanding). You need to initialize it using some mysterious spec value and there are these macros you should use to get the current value..." The description is just unusable. After reading it you have still no idea about implementing some timing functionality. In the Manual 1.1. it's more or less the identical blah-blah. Such an essential feature - no info tabou how to use it. Thank you for any hints mv -- ?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?-*-?
