The TimerInfo block visualizes timer resource allocation across all peripheral blocks, showing which timers are used, their configuration, and detecting conflicts.

When to use:

When to use:

• Debugging timer conflicts (multiple peripherals requesting same timer)
• Verifying timer allocation before adding new features (check available timers)
• Understanding which peripheral uses which timer resource
• Identifying timer configuration (prescaler, period, mode)
• Documenting timer usage for project handoff or review

✗ This block is never harmful:

• Informational utility only — no simulation or code generation impact
• Add to model for timer resource visualization
• Remove if not needed — purely a development aid

Display Information

Example Output

Timer Resources (dsPIC33AK128MC106):

Timer1: ⚠️ CONFLICT
  - MCHP_Interrupt (Hardware Timer mode)
  - MCHP_IC1 (Input Capture)
  → Resolve: Use different timer

Timer2: PWM_HS Module
  - PWM timebase, Period=1000, Prescaler=1

Timer3: QEI1 Position Measurement
  - Speed calculation, Period=65535

Timer4: [Available]
Timer5: [Available]

Usage

• Add TimerInfo block to model
• Double-click to view allocation
• Verify no conflicts exist
• Identify available timers for new features Timer Conflicts: Must be resolved before code generation. Reconfigure peripheral blocks to use different timers.
