A timer is a specialized type of clock for measuring time intervals. Timers can be categorized into two main types, Stopwatch and countdown timer. A timer which counts upwards from zero to a measured elapsed time is called a stopwatch, while a timer clock which counts down from a specified time interval is called a timer or a countdown clock. A simple example of this is an hourglass. Timers have two main groups: Hardware and Software timers.
