 It is often desirable to determine whether realtime performance criteria are met or how long a certain time domain takes to run. For this purpose each time domain as well as the safety system comprises of a dedicated timer.
 ===== How the Timer Works =====
-The timer function is included in every periodic object. It registers the system time each time the executor executes this particular task (//tick()//). When the task is done, the system time is registered again (//tock()//). The timer keeps track of the previous measurement and calculates the run time in between consecutive runs as well as period and jitter.

 You can then periodically print the mean and maximum run time.
