TICK

Process Function

SYNTAX: a= TICK(n)

PURPOSE: To return the time from the TICK timers.

REMARK S: n is from 0 to 2, corresponding to a tick timer.

There are thr ee TIC K timer s in CAM BASIC that accum ulate on a 12 ho ur basis. These ar e separa te

from the calendar/clock and are not battery-backed.

The functions return the time in 0. 005 (0.010 in 9 MH z systems) second incr ements up to 12 hour s.

Using the process clock has an advantage over the calendar/clock in that you deal only w ith seconds,

and not hours and m inutes.

On power– up all TICK timers start at 0.0 and begin counting. You can reset the process at any

time by using the CLEAR TICK statement. The process clock cannot be preset to a value other than

0 (using CLEAR TICK).

These tick counters are separate from those used in ON TICK.

RELATED: CLEAR TICK, ON TICK

EXAMPLE: 10 CLEAR TICK 2

20 FOR X=0 TO 5000 : NEXT

30 PRINT TICK (2)

RUN
