I understood that RTC0 is used by Soft device. RTC1 is used by app_timer application. I have already used app_timer functionality for various timeout conditions.

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Synchronizing.  You need a way to start your app_timer in a calibrated way to assure you are synchronized with the outside world as you count.  A BLE event or Button push can accomplish this&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Counting,  At your calibrated synchronization event, just start an app_timer which is REPEATING and have handler function increment a variable.  You can set your timeout to be either in minutes, 5minutes, 10minutes..etc  what ever counting resolution you want.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
