Syntax:
Settimer timernumber, byte_value Settimer timernumber, word_value
Command Availability:
Available on all microcontrollers with a Timer modules.
Explanation:
Settimer
will set the value of the specified timer with either byte value or a word value.
8-bit timers use a byte value. 16-bit timers use a word value.
Settimer
can be used on-the-fly, so there is no requirement to stop the timer first.
Refer to the datasheet for timer specific information.
Example:
This example shows the operation of setting two timers - is not intended as a meaningful solution.
