+# This module produces the Metronome Architectural Protocol on top of Timer Library.
+#
+# This is a generic implementation of the Metronome Architectural Protocol that
+# layers on top of an instance of the Timer Library. The Timer Library provides
+# functions for nanosecond and microsecond delays. This generic implementation
+# produces a fixed TickPeriod of 100ns unit, and when the WaitForTick() service
+# is called, the number of ticks passed in is converted to either nanosecond or
+# microsecond units. If the number of ticks is small, then nanoseconds are used.
+# If the number of ticks is large, then microseconds are used. This prevents
+# overflows that could occur for long delays if only nanoseconds were used and also
+# provides the greatest accuracy for small delays.
