Counting using delta_t and packet_num

I have read previous postings on how to do timing but I don't understand the exact data coming out of delta_t and packet_num. I would love to play around with delta_t and packet_num but my team doesn't have a working robot to test with.
From what I understand, delta_t is the time it took to complete the last? loop in milliseconds?
packet_num is a packet counter, it increments in 1's about every 40ms? It resets itself to zero after it reaches 254 or 255? Right? Wrong? Way off?
