High Resolution Timer Macro

Macro: Timer

Timer is a read-only variable that uses the Windows high-performance timer functions to return the time since the last Windows start. The return value is in seconds, with typical resolution of 1 microsecond or better depending on the version of Windows and the available hardware.

Example: To time the execution of the WaitSecs command (or any other macro, loop, or string of commands), use:

    T=Timer
    WaitSecs=1.000
    T=Timer - T
    Msg=T(0.9) + " seconds"
