Figure 11.3 Examples of Time Reading Procedures
If a carry occurs while the time is being read, the correct time will not be obtained and the read
must be repeated. The procedure for reading the time without using interrupts is shown in (a), and
the procedure using carry interrupts in (b). The method without using interrupts is normally used
to keep the program simple.
