I just purchase PBP and am looking over the manual along with the microchip datasheet for the 16F876. I am creating a project that will need a timer to calculate an elapsed time from 250 ms to 5 seconds. It looks like I could do this by polling the counter on the internal counter modules. But I don't see where this is supported in the manual, but did find references to TMR on this forum.

I'd rather not use interupts if I can avoid it. I don't need micro-second resolution, milli-second will do.

Can I poll the timer module using PBP? Where is this mentioned in the manual? How is this configured?

Thanks for any help.
