Using the scheduler with the Application Timer for SDK 11

Yes, that is correct. The purpose of using the scheduler is to have your code execute in the main/thread context, which is the lowest priority. The motivation for executing code in the lowest priority is to not let your code execution block other tasks that need to run with minimum latency(e.g. at higher priority). On the nRF52, you have 5 application interrupt priorities that can be used, see this page. But on the nRF51, it was only 2! See this page.

Thanks for the pdf version as I could not find that online.

However, I was wrong in assuming that I can't use timer (in interrupt mode) while using scheduler. But I was wrong. I can now run the timer along with the scheduler.

I think the tutorial you sent is to use the timer in threaded mode, am I right?
