AVR timing loops

[Roy]

I'm new to the AVR chips but have used PIC chips IDE in which they have a
STOPWATCH to test timing of the code.

Does the AVR IDE have similar function or how do I test timing loops in the
AVR IDE environment?

Yes, AVR Studio 4 has both a "cycle counter" and a "stopwatch" in the
processor tree of the workspace debugger window. The stopwatch value can
be reset to zero by the user (the usual right-click popup menu).

Thanks - missed that in the first pass :-(

Well some loops and nops will sometimes do the trick.
Just add up the cycle counts.
