Hi, I was just got a basic doubt about timers. Is it possible to read 8051 timer register. one of the timer for example timer0 starts when an external event occurs and stops until the event is finished. Once the timer stops I need to read value of the timer to check the time taken for the event to take place. I cant use the timer in counter mode since I dont have any signal coming to pins P3^5, P3^4.
