Syntax:
ClearTimer TimerNoCommand Availability:
Available on all Microchip PIC and Atmel AVR microcontrollers with built in timer modules.
Explanation:
ClearTimer is used to clear the specified timer to a value of 0.
Cleartimer can be used on-the-fly if desired, so there is no requirement to
stop the timer first.
Example:
.....
'Clear timer 1
ClearTimer 1 ' <<< the ClearTimer instruction
.....Key line: ClearTimer 1 — resets Timer 1’s count to 0 immediately, whether or not the timer is currently running.
See Also:
- InitTimer1 — a full worked example that uses ClearTimer before timing an event
- StartTimer / StopTimer — starting and stopping the timer being cleared
- Settimer — setting a timer to a specific value instead of clearing it to 0
