= TIMER
   TIMER = [50th/60th seconds]

This variable represents a “timer”, which is the number of sixtieths / fiftieths of a second that have passed since the machine was turned on. This variable, when used as a value, measures the elapsed time. However, it can be set to an arbitrary value, such as 0, to measure a defined period of time.

The refresh rate of this timer depends on the type of video standard used, that is, PAL (50Hz) or NTSC (60Hz).

This variable can be abbreviated as TI.
