Thanks for fast response!

I have taken a serial based (UART) Modbus client application from Windows PC
environment and ported it to my WinCE Xscale 255 hardware platform based on
the Lubbock (XSC1BD) BSP. There is no display on my board.
In my BSP I have included the feature "Minimal GWES Configuration" in my
build, but still the method SetTimer is not available.

I have come around the problem by making my own timer thread, but would like
to use the system call SetTimer instead (guess it is more efficient).

Do you know which GWES feature(s) that is required, and can I use it for my
Headless device?
