1.2.11.4.11 SYS_TIME_Counter64Get Function

uint64_t SYS_TIME_Counter64Get ( void )

Get the common 64-bit system counter value.

Returns the current "live" value of the common 64-bit system counter.

The SYS_TIME_Initialize function should have been called before calling this function.

None

The current "live" value of the common 64-bit system counter.

uint64_t timeStamp1;
uint64_t timeStamp2;
uint64_t timeDiffMs;

// Take first time stamp
timeStamp1 = SYS_TIME_Counter64Get();

//Perform some tasks....

// Take second time stamp
timeStamp2 = SYS_TIME_Counter64Get();

//Calculate the time difference.
timeDiffMs = timeStamp2 - timeStamp1;
timeDiffMs = (uint64_t)(((double)timeDiffMs/SYS_TIME_FrequencyGet())*1000.0);

The value returned may be stale as soon as it is provided, as the timer is live and running at full frequency resolution (as configured and as reported by the SYS_TIME_FrequencyGet function). If additional accuracy is required, use a hardware timer instance.
