Abstract
A paging device in combination with an accurate stopwatch includes a stopwatch timer block supported by latent processor element resources. The user directly manipulates, e.g., starts and stops, the timer block without processor element intervention. The processor element is thereby free to service higher priority tasks, e.g., receipt of paging information, and collects stopwatch timer block data at a lower priority level.
