Counters, timers, and flags make it possible for Task Manager to do such things
as respond to three presses of PTT or to email a status message once a week.
Short timers may not be accurate. This is because it may take
Note:
Task Manager longer than 10 ms to process its tasks, causing it to
miss the next instruction to go through its task list. Tait recommends
that you avoid short timers (< 50 ms) if the task list has more than 10 enabled
tasks.
