+//! The timer support.

+/// The timer frequency (Hz). Here we choose 1000Hz since 1000Hz is easier for
+/// unit conversion and convenient for timer. What's more, the frequency cannot
+/// be set too high or too low, 1000Hz is a modest choice.
+///
+/// For system performance reasons, this rate cannot be set too high, otherwise
+/// most of the time is spent executing timer code.
