Timer
Gets the elapsed time.
Format
StartTimer(<start>, <mode>)
Parameter
Parameter
Data type
name
Double
precision real
<start>
number data
type
<mode> Integer type
Return value
Returns the elapsed time after the execution of the StartTimer function as an integer value gotten by rounding
off digits to the right of the decimal point.
Description
Gets the elapsed time after the execution of the StartTimer function with the unit specified in the <mode>
parameter. (To use this function, specify the return value of the StartTimer function in the <start> parameter.)
Specify the return value of the StartTimer function to be executed prior to this macro function.
If an incorrect data type is specified for a parameter, a "Type mismatch" error will occur.
If a non-existent number, numerical value, or combination of data types or values is specified for a parameter,
an "Illegal function call" error will occur.
If a value is assigned to the return value variable or the variable is not used in an expression, a "Syntax error"
error will occur.
If the format is written incorrectly, such as writing the macro function name incorrectly, omitting a comma, or
omitting a half-width space, a "Syntax error" error will occur.
Usage Cautions
• Depending on the processing time of this macro function and the StartTimer function itself, there may be an
error in the elapsed time gotten.
Example
Measures the elapsed time since the beginning of the StartTimer function until the execution of the Timer
function.
T# = StartTimer
Rem Executes the process whose the process execution elapsed time is measured.
Rem Gets the elapsed time using the return value of the StartTimer function.
TIME& = Timer(T#, 0)
