5.2- TIMER ONR BASICS AND OPERATIONS

Overview of Timer Concepts

Types of Timers and Their Functions

• The discussion begins with a focus on different types of timers, specifically mentioning the "AR" timer, which is related to real-time operations.

• Further elaboration on the functionalities of timers is provided, indicating that they perform specific tasks based on input signals.

• The "four time" concept is introduced, explaining how an input signal (e.g., from a queue) interacts with the timer's operation.

• It is explained that when the input value equals zero (0), the timer starts counting. If it reaches a certain value and then receives another input signal, it continues counting from that point.

• The discussion concludes by stating that in this scenario, if the current value matches the preset value, the queue will be set to one (1).
