DESCRIPTION

16       This program demonstrates how to use the timer routines.  These can  be
17       a  bit  of  a pain, because you have to be sure you lock all the memory
18       that is used inside your interrupt handlers.  The  first  part  of  the
19       example shows a basic use of timing using the blocking function rest().
20       The second part shows how to use three timers with  different  frequen‐
21       cies in a non blocking way.
