Timer2 Protection¶
Purpose¶
Timer2 acts as the packet scheduler.
It controls state transitions and packet timing.
Responsibilities¶
- Burst timing.
- Gap timing.
- Packet repetition.
- State sequencing.
Safe Modifications¶
- Scheduler frequency.
- Timing constants.
Unsafe Modifications¶
- Interrupt behavior.
- State transition logic.
- Timer mode.
Possible Side Effects¶
Improper changes may produce:
- irregular packets,
- lost bursts,
- timing drift,
- packet collapse.
