Title: Mach3 CB timers()
Post by: BR549 on December 10, 2012, 02:26:11 AM

Has anyone user the Timer() functions lately. I am getting some strange times from it .

Can someone run this CB code and see what time you get.

SetTimer(10)
Sleep(10000)
MsgBox"" &GetTimer(10)

I should get a time of close to 10 sec BUT I get a return time of .38486666666 secs

Thanks (;-) TP
