1.2.11.4.7 SYS_TIME_DelayMS Function

SYS_TIME_RESULT SYS_TIME_DelayMS ( uint32_t ms, SYS_TIME_HANDLE* handle )

This function is used to generate a delay of a given number of milliseconds.

The function will internally create a single shot timer which will be auto deleted when the application calls SYS_TIME_DelayIsComplete routine and the delay has expired. The function will return immediately, requiring the caller to use SYS_TIME_DelayIsComplete routine to check the delay timer's status.

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

SYS_TIME_SUCCESS - If the call succeeded.

SYS_TIME_ERROR - If the call failed.

SYS_TIME_HANDLE timer = SYS_TIME_HANDLE_INVALID;

if (SYS_TIME_DelayMS(100, &timer) != SYS_TIME_SUCCESS)
{
    // Handle error
}
else if(SYS_TIME_DelayIsComplete(timer) != true)
{
    // Wait till the delay has not expired
    while (SYS_TIME_DelayIsComplete(timer) == false);
}

Will delay the requested number of milliseconds or longer depending on system performance. In Tick-based mode, the requested delay will be ceiled to the next timer tick. For example, if the timer tick is set to 700 µs and the requested delay is 2 ms, a delay of 2.1 ms will be generated.

Delay values of 0 will return SYS_TIME_ERROR.

Will return SYS_TIME_ERROR if the timer handle pointer is NULL.
