STM32 Timer component
Allows you to measure the passage of time via the use of the STM hardware timer. Works like a stopwatch with macros to start, stop and reset the timer counter. Returns time as integer Seconds, Milliseconds and also Floating Point and String.
Examples

This component does not contain any simulation macros
Property reference
Timer Delay (ms)
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name TimerDelay.
Number of milliseconds between timer events which increment the simulated timer counter variable.
10ms will yield the highest resolution. Values less than this will likely just increase the error and making the timer run slow.
Higher delays will yield greater accuracy.
Decimal Points
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name DecimalPoints.
