;Delay Measurement Example, using Timer 0 with simple polling
;http://www.pjrc.com/tech/8051/board4/timers.html

;This examples demonstrates how to use Timer 0 to measure the
;elapsed time between two events.  Timer 0 is used in mode 1
;(16 bit), and it is started with a count of zero at the first
;event.  A simple polling loop is used to check for the second
;event and also to check for timer 0 overflow.  Each time the
;timer overflows, we increment a 16 bit overflow count, so we
;can measure elapsed time up to 2^32 cycles (2330 seconds).
