I don't understand the purpose of timer. We often use timers as delay function for example I want a process to be done for five minutes or to be done after five minutes. Its mean the timers must be operate in seconds if we are not doing some machine instructions execution.
But talking of PIC timers they work in a very strange manners.First of all if you are using internal clock it will be divided by 4 then prescaler then staring number of timer then you will get a delay which is less then a second.
I mean why it is so complex why don't we simply select timer in seconds and minutes. I don't think in simple projects we need a timer operating in milli in micro seconds.
I would be thankful if you answer my question
