    The timers will be third-party peripherals and not part of the ARM architecture itself. The consequence of this is that the chip vendors will often use their own peripheral implementations, and these often differ. Therefore, you will need to consult the documentation for the specific chip you have in order to use the timer peripheral. This information is readily available from most manufacturers' websites.

    I am pretty certain that your timer will be able to implement the behaviour you require as it is a fairly common function.
