See the TimerProc_Structure type description for instructions on how to call this function.
A timer ID is output to the 16 bit location referenced by timerID member of your
TimerProc_Structure.
You must call the RTX_START_TIMER API function to get the kernel to start calling your new timer
procedure.
Important:
Timer procedures are executed on the stack of the kernel task at a high priority, so they should be
as short as possible. Avoid calling large functions like printf().
