[En-Nut-Discussion] Problem regarding the Timer API

[Matthias Ringwald]

hi

think of the "Timer" in Nut/OS as a tea timer. When the pre-set time  
is up, it rings, and your tea is ready.
To measure the time between two events, just record the system time  
when the first event occurs. Have a look at NutGetTime() or so.
