====== timerread ======

Demonstrates how to use the timer device to read the current system time.

==== Synopsis ====

''%%timerread%%''

==== Description ====

This program demonstrates how to use the timer device to read the current system time.

The program does the following:

  * Opens the timer device
  * Creates an IOReq
  * Initializes an IOInfo structure
  * Calls ''%%DoIO()%%'' to perform the read operation
  * Prints out the current time
  * Cleans up

Note that Portfolio provides convenience routines to make using the timer device easier. For example, ''%%CreateTimerIOReq()%%'' and ''%%DeleteTimerIOReq()%%''. This example intends to show how in general one can communicate with devices in the Portfolio environment. For more information on the timer convenience routines, see the timer device documentation.
