Functions
BMC.PRESCALER Prescale the measured cycles
If ON, the cycle counter register, which counts for the cpu cycles which is used to measure the elapsed time,
will be divided (prescaled) by 64. The display of the time will be corrected accordingly.
BMC.TARA Calibrate the benchmark counter
Due to restricted technical feasibilities the benchmark counter will start counting before the application runs.
To improve the exactness of the result you can perform BMC.Init, single step an assembler command and
execute BMC.TARA. On following measurements the obtained result will be subtracted from the benchmark
counter.
BMC.COUNTER(<x>) Reads out the benchmark counter PMNx.
