## Description

TFPCustomTimer is the timer class containing the timer's implementation. It relies on an extra driver instance (of type TFPTimerDriver) to do the actual work.

TFPCustomTimer publishes no events or properties, so it is unsuitable for handling in an IDE. The TFPTimer descendent class publishes all needed events of TFPCustomTimer.
