A timer is a specialized type of clock used for measuring specific time intervals.
Timers can be categorized into two main types. The word "timer" is usually reserved for devices that counts down from a specified time interval, while devices that do the opposite, measuring elapsed time by counting upwards from zero, are called stopwatches. A simple example of the first type is an hourglass. Working method timers have two main groups: hardware and software timers.
Most timers give an indication that the time interval that had been set has expired.
Time switches, timing mechanisms that activate a switch, are sometimes also called "timers."
