Hi,

related question: As TIM blocks used for countdowns in most of the 
cases, is there any real gain in using START_TIMER() and STOP_TIMER() still?

I usually configure my TIM blocks like this (for the first timer):

TIMER.TIMR1R = :TIMER.POS_V1.~

...and write (a negative value) directly to TIMER.TIMR1V.

Regards,
