I have been given a microsecond clock .dll for Windows (which I have yet I am also working with Windows and would very much like to know about this dll that you mentioned. Where did you find it? Can you tell me more about it?
I know very little about it. I got it from a collegue who in turn was given it by someone at Microsoft. I have asked him if he has any documentation for it but it does not appear that he has. You can pick it up from http://www.sis.port.ac.uk/~mab/TOPIC/Java/Clock.dll
interesting to see if Windows can manage a finer granularity.
Haven't had a chance to do the programming in Linux yet but the program I am working with uses a hardware card that just happens to have a microsecond timer on it and I am able to use that but I don't want to depend on this and would rather use something that is part of the computer
What is this hardware card? If it works under Linux that could be a way to solve my problem. Do you have a url pointing to more information for it? Any idea of the cost? In terms of timing under Linux I had the suggestion earlier of using ticks and just summing them. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Any ideas how I read these ticks? regards Garry
