Specify the period of time between timer events
Description
TimerPeriod specifies the time, in seconds, that must pass before the action function specified for TimerAction is called. Time is measured relative to when the hardware device starts running.
Some timer events may not be processed if your system is significantly slowed or if the TimerPeriod value is too small. For example, a common application for timer events is to display data. However, since displaying data is a CPU-intensive task, some of these events may be dropped.
