tmr

It allows Lua to execute timer specific operations (delay, read timer value,

start timer, get time difference).

tmr.delay( id, delay ): uses timer 'id' to wait for 'delay' us.

Data = tmr.read( id ): reads the value of timer 'id'. The returned value is

platform dependent.

Data = tmr.start( id ): start the timer 'id', and also returns its value at

the moment of start. The returned value is platform dependent.

diff = tmr.diff( id, end, start ): returns the time difference (in us) between

the timer values 'end' and 'start' (obtained from calling tmr.start or

tmr.read). The order of end/start is irrelevant.

Data = tmr.mindelay( id ): returns the minimum delay (in us ) that can be

achieved by calling the tmr.delay function. If the return value is 0, the

platform layer is capable of executing sub-microsecond delays.

Data = tmr.maxdelay( id ): returns the maximum delay (in us) that can be

achieved by calling the tmr.delay function.

Data = tmr.setclock( id, clock ): sets the clock of the given timer. Returns the

actual clock set for the timer.

Data = tmr.getclock( id ): return the clock of the given timer.
