Hi there and welcome to Electronics Point.

The 8051's timers are well-documented in lots of places. Have you done a Google search? That should be the first thing you do. When I did it, I found a lot of good explanations:

http://www.8052.com/tuttimer.phtml
http://edsim51.com/8051Notes/8051/timers.html
http://www.mikroe.com/chapters/view/65/chapter-2-8051-microcontroller-architecture/ (timer descriptions start about half way down the web page)

If you have trouble understanding some part of the description, please feel free to ask us specific questions.

yes.. i also know there's a lot of places that describe the timer of 8051.. but i still confuse about the code and how to activate the bit.. but i'll try to understanding it more deeply..

thanks..
