Is it possible to read 8051 timer register?

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.

regards.

  • Erik is right, (suggesting "bible time")
    So lets review the basics Raghun,
    Till then, does somebody care about the organization resources being NOT utilized...(or rather wasted)

    SO, if i read correctly, what you are saying is that if somebody does not understand the basics of a '51 he should blindly copy and ask simple questions, because if he does not forget all about understanding what he is doing and blindly copy software from the net "resources are wasted"
