Controlling the Serial Monitor for 10 seconds
Using micros() is very much like boiling an egg.

When you want your egg to be cooked just right you know that it needs to be in the boiling water for a certain amount of time. There's three ways you can achieve that:


Use an egg timer to alert you when the time has passed,
Sit and stare at the boiling pot counting the seconds as they slowly tick by (booooooring..... ...zzzZZZzzz...)
Remember what time you put the egg in the water and glance at the clock every so often to see how much time has passed.


Using millis() is like option 3. It tells you how many milliseconds have passed since the board was turned on (or since the last millis() rollover at roughly 49 days). So when you put the egg in the water you record the current time. Then you periodically compare the recorded time to the current time (a simple subtraction will suffice) to see if enough time has passed. When it has you remove the egg and chow down.

So to put that more in a coding context - when you start some operation, or want to measure a period of time from a point, you just save the time in a variable:

start = millis();


(start must be uint32_t, aka unsigned long). To find if enough time has passed you just subtract that saved time from the current time and it gives you the elapsed time, which you can compare to your required elapsed time:

if (millis() - start &gt;= 100) { 
}


1/10 of a second is 100ms, so if you hit a difference of 100ms (or more) then your time has arrived and you can do something.

If you want it to do it again after that then just set the "start" time to the current time again.

For instance, for your requirements:

void loop() {
    // Record the start time - the static means it
    // only happens once the first time loop() is run and
    // it remembers the value between iterations
    static uint32_t start = millis();

    // Somewhere to store the number of values we
    // have given - again, static so it remembers across
    // iterations of loop()
    static uint8_t count = 0;

    if (count &lt; 100) { // No more than 100 counts
        if (millis() - start &gt;= 100) { // Tick
            start = millis(); // Do it again in 100ms time

            // Add whatever you need for your readings here

            count++; // Add one to the count
        }
    }
}
