be used as a user programmable timer/counter. The user programmable

timer/counter can be set to 2M internal clock or external clock ExtCLK,

The OME-A-822PGL/PGH software driver uses counter0 as a machine

independent timer. If users program calls the A-822_Delay() subroutine,

counter0 will be programmed as a machine independent timer. More detailed

information is provided in section 2.6.

NOTE : if you use A-822_Delay(), the JP6 jumper must
be set to internal 2M clock.
