The ROBOTC Debugger Timers
The Timers debug window provides access to current values of the timers built-in to your
microcontroller. On the VEX Cortex, there are 4 user-accessible timers (T1, T2, T3, and T4),
and two system timers (nSysTime and nPgrmTime). The 4 user-accessible timers can be
modied in real-time using the Timers debug window, but the two system timers cannot.
Index
The index of the timer (T1-T4).
Timer
Name of the timer. “nSysTime” is the amount of time the controller has been powered on.
“nPgmTime” is the amount of time the current program has run. Timer1 through Timer4
can be reset and monitored in your programs.
Time
Displays the elapsed time.
The Timers window can be opened by going to the Robot menu, Debug Windows, and
selecting Timers.
