-- # The TIMER Concept
--
-- The TIMER class is the little sister of the @{Core.Scheduler#SCHEDULER} class. It does the same thing but is a bit easier to use and has less overhead. It should be sufficient in many cases.
--
-- It provides an easy interface to the DCS [timer.scheduleFunction](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_scheduleFunction).
--
-- # Construction
--
-- A new TIMER is created by the @{#TIMER.New}(*func*, *...*) function
--
-- local mytimer=TIMER:New(myfunction, a, b)
--
-- The first parameter *func* is the function that is called followed by the necessary comma separeted parameters that are passed to that function.
--
-- ## Starting the Timer
--
-- The timer is started by the @{#TIMER.Start}(*Tstart*, *dT*, *Duration*) function
--
-- mytimer:Start(5, 1, 20)
--
-- where
--
-- * *Tstart* is the relative start time in seconds. In the example, the first function call happens after 5 sec.
-- * *dT* is the time interval between function calls in seconds. Above, the function is called once per second.
-- * *Duration* is the duration in seconds after which the timer is stopped. This is relative to the start time. Here, the timer will run for 20 seconds.
--
-- Note that
--
-- * if *Tstart* is not specified (*nil*), the first function call happens immediately, i.e. after one millisecond.
-- * if *dT* is not specified (*nil*), the function is called only once.
-- * if *Duration* is not specified (*nil*), the timer runs forever or until stopped manually or until the max function calls are reached (see below).
--
-- For example,
--
-- mytimer:Start(3) -- Will call the function once after 3 seconds.
-- mytimer:Start(nil, 0.5) -- Will call right now and then every 0.5 sec until all eternity.
-- mytimer:Start(nil, 2.0, 20) -- Will call right now and then every 2.0 sec for 20 sec.
-- mytimer:Start(1.0, nil, 10) -- Does not make sense as the function is only called once anyway.
--
-- ## Stopping the Timer
--
-- The timer can be stopped manually by the @{#TIMER.Stop}(*Delay*) function
--
-- mytimer:Stop()
--
-- If the optional paramter *Delay* is specified, the timer is stopped after *delay* seconds.
--
-- ## Limit Function Calls
--
-- The timer can be stopped after a certain amount of function calles with the @{#TIMER.SetMaxFunctionCalls}(*Nmax*) function
--
-- mytimer:SetMaxFunctionCalls(20)
--
-- where *Nmax* is the number of calls after which the timer is stopped, here 20.
--
-- For example,
--
-- mytimer:SetMaxFunctionCalls(66):Start(1.0, 0.1)
--
-- will start the timer after one second and call the function every 0.1 seconds. Once the function has been called 66 times, the timer is stopped.
