+; TIMER SETUP
+;
+; A PERIODIC INTERRUPT TIMER CAN BE SETUP USING EITHER THE CPU SYSTEM CLOCK OR AN EXTERNAL
+; OSCILLATOR CONNECTED TO THE CTC. THE DEFACTO PERIOD FOR THIS TIMER IS 50Hz OR 60Hz.
+;
+; THE DESIRED TIMER PERIOD IS SET IN THE CONFIGURATION:
+;	TICKFREQ	.SET	60	; OR
+;	TICKFREQ	.SET	50
+;
+; THIS DRIVER USES TWO CTC CHANNELS TO CREATE A TWO STEP DIVIDER THAT DIVIDES THE CPU SYSTEM 
+; CLOCK OR EXTERNAL OSCILLATOR INTO A PERIODIC TICK THAT GENERATES AN INTERRUPT.
+;
+; THE CPU CLOCK OR CTC EXTERNAL OSCILLATOR NEEDS TO BE LESS THAN 3.932160MHz FOR A 60HZ TIMER
+; TICK OR 3.276800MHz FOR A 50Hz TIMER TICK.
+;
+; THE CHANNELS USED ARE DEFINED BY THE CTCPRECH AND CTCTIMCH DEFINITIONS - TYPICALLY 2 & 3.
+; EXTERNAL HARDWARE MUST BE CONFIGURED TO MATCH THIS CONFIGURATION.
+;
+; EACH CHANNEL SUCCESSIVELY DIVIDES THE CLOCK OR OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY DOWN TO A 50 OR 60Hz TICK.
+; THE FIRST DIVIDER CHANNEL IS THE PRESCALER, THE SECOND IS THE TIMER CHANNEL. 
+;
+; IF CTCMODE IS CTCMODE_CTR THEN THE OSCILLATOR CONNECTED TO CTC PRESCALER CHANNEL IS USED.
+;
+; 	THE CONFIGURATION FILES DEFINE THE OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE PRESCALER
+; 	CHANNEL. I.E. THE EXTERNAL HARDWARE CONNECTED TO THE CTC.
+;
+;	FOR A 60Hz TIMER WITH A 3.579545Mhz OSCILLATOR USE:
+;	CTCMODE		.SET	CTCMODE_CTR
+;	TICKFREQ	.SET	60
+;	CTCOSC		.SET	3579545	
+;	
+; IF CTCMODE IS CTCMODE_TIM16 OR CTCMODE_TIM256 THE CPU SYSTEM CLOCK FREQUENCY IS USED.
+;
+;  	THIS MODE HAS LIMITED VALUE AS MANY SYSTEMS OPERATE ABOVE THE USABLE TOP FREQUENCY.
+;	THE CONFIGURATION FILE MUST BE UPDATED TO MATCH YOUR CPU CLOCK FREQUENCY.
+;
+;	FOR A 60Hz TIMER WITH A 2Mhz OSCILLATOR USE:
+;	CTCMODE		.SET	CTCMODE_TIM256
+;	TICKFREQ	.SET	60
+;	CTCOSC		.SET	2000000
+;
+;	NOTE THAT IF CPU SPEED IS CHANGED IN THIS MODE, THE TIMER SPEED WILL ALSO CHANGE.
