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.
