Is there an additional custom timer available for programming?

Is there an additional custom timer available for programming?

No. The only beat you have is the cycle time the script is called up periodically. Based on a global variable that counts the cycles you can derive relative times by subtraction.

Example code:

mytime = mytime + 1

…

if mystate == START then

  timesave = mytime

  mystate = WAIT_TIMEOUT

  elseif mystate == WAIT_TIMEOUT

  timediff = mytime - timesave

  if timediff > 1000 then

  end

end

in netSCRIPT you get the current cycle time it is runnig at using the function util.GetCycleTime()

Example Code:

MyCycleTime = util.GetCycleTime()
