3.5.12 Alarm Handler Function
The alarm handler is a time event handler that is started only once at a specified time.
Use of the alarm handler makes it possible to perform time-dependent processing. The time of day is specified
by a relative time. Figure 3.41 shows a typical operation of the alarm handler.
