move.l #0x0000,D0;writing to the timer counter with any
move.l DO,TCN0 ;value resets it to zero
move.l #0xAFAF,DO ;set the timer0 reference to be
move.l #D0,TRR0 ;defined as 0xAFAF
The simple example below uses Timer0 to count time-out loops. A time-out occurs when the reference
value, 0xAFAF, is reached.

22.4.2 Calculating Time-Out Values
Equation 22-1 determines time-out periods for various reference values:
Eqn. 22-1
When calculating time-out periods, add 1 to the prescaler to simplify calculating, because
DTMRn[PS] equals 0x00 yields a prescaler of 1, and DTMRn[PS] equals 0xFF yields a prescaler of 256.
For example, if a 66-MHz timer clock is divided by 16, DTMRn[PS] equals 0x7F, and the timer is
referenced at 0xFBC5 (64453 decimal), the time-out period is:
Eqn. 22-2
