     // If System Clock is changed from default, TIMER3 changes with it. eg 96Mhz System clock TIMER3 1uS = 1uS. System Clock = 120Mhz. 1uS will actually become 0.8uS.
-    // Is could be useful also for getting Timer resolution below 1uS. i.e set divider to 1, as below and min Timer resolution should be 250nS.

+    //LPC_TIM3->PR = 74;    // Sets prescaler for TIMER3 counter. (Default at 96Mhz and PCLKSEL = 0 (ie. CCLK/4) is 23) Therefore if we set PCLKSEL = CCLK/1 and scale down by (23*4) * 96Mhz/120hz = 73.6. Not perfect...but it works
