This function measures the elapsed time since the timer was last reset.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function Yes
Usage
time = timer.measure.t()
time
Details
The returned resolution for time depends on how long it has been since the timer was reset. It starts with 1 μs
resolution and starts to lose resolution after about 2.8 minutes.
Example 1
timer.reset()
...
time = timer.measure.t()
print(time)
Example 2
beeper.beep(0.5, 2400)
print("reset timer")
timer.reset()
delay(0.5)
dt = timer.measure.t()
print("timer after delay:", dt)
beeper.beep(0.5, 2400)

The output will vary. The above output indicates that
timer.measure.t() was executed 14.69077
seconds after timer.reset().
Sets the beeper, resets the timer, sets a delay, then
verifies the time of the delay before the next beeper.
