StartEx - method of the PmaTimer object

Description:
Timer activation with the specified number of runs and the period.
Syntax:
Empty StartEx(Single fPeriod, Long nCounter)
Parameters:
fPeriod(Single) New timer period in seconds or flag to use current timer period.
fPeriod > 0 - The value greater than 0 means the new value of timer period in seconds. The value of the parameter is moved into the Period property.
fPeriod = -1 - Timer period keeps unchanged. The Period property is not changed.
nCounter(Long) The number of timer runs. The value of the parameter is moved into the Counter property.
nCounter > 0 - The value greater than 0 means the number of next timer runs. Each timer run automatically decreases the value of the counter by 1.
nCounter = 0 - The timer will not be started
nCounter = -1 - The number of timer runs is unlimited
Note:
Calling this method is identical with setting: Enabled to the true value, Period to the value of the fPeriod parameter and Counter to the value of the nCounter parameter.
After running the specified number of runs, the timer stops and Enabled is false, Period remains unchanged on the value of the fPeriod parameter and Counter is 0.
For more common time control it is better to use the PmaSequencer object.
Example:
The onTick event will be triggered 10 times with 3 seconds delay.
