1.2.11.4.10 SYS_TIME_CounterGet Function

uint32_t SYS_TIME_CounterGet ( void )

Get the common 32-bit system counter value.

Returns the current "live" value of the common 32-bit system counter.

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

None

The current "live" value of the common 32-bit system counter.

uint32_t timeStamp1;
uint32_t timeStamp2;
uint32_t timeDiffMs;

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

//Perform some tasks....

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

//Calculate the time difference. Use the appropriate function -
//SYS_TIME_CountToMS or SYS_TIME_CountToUS to calculate the time difference.

timeDiffMs = SYS_TIME_CountToMS((timeStamp2 - timeStamp1));

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.
