Dear Sapero

you are the man in Windows SDK programming and you need me to help this software problem

I would like program in an function an switchoff delay software timer that need the WinAPI functions voor control the hardware timer en counter.

Can somebody help me how I can program this precision timer. I would like an impulstimer to that set the time and timebase

I have need this functions for my thesis in school

I written whole my thesis in EBASIC  for an electronic project

What periods/delays or frequency do you need? Maybe would be better to buy an easy to learn ATMEL microcontroller with ISP bus (in system programming - no programmator required) and then compare:

your computer and monitor: 300W, very poor timing, trash on I/O ports when starting up the system
microcontroller: power consumption at micro/mili watt level, high precise software and hardware timers and interrupts!
Think about. You can start learning with AT2051, ther try atmega and AVR.

What about the liibrary port.dll from elektor they have timers in software?
or is it better used the hardware timers of an microcontroller by example I need an PIC controller
Is that an solution?

With kind regards

To be honest, I don't understand what you will do. Maybe give me a screnshot, .rc or .dlg file, a flowchart, or any other hint, including google translation :)
I don't know even if your problem is "how to code it" or "what function do I need for..."
