Resolution of SECONDS()

2007-05May-18
On Win 9.x SECONDS() has a resolution of 1 ms. On NT based systems, SECONDS() changes every 10 ms, as you can seewith the following program:
 

For t=1 to 100
? Seconds()
endfor

Declare long timeBeginPeriod in WinMM.dll long
timeBeginPeriod(1)

Now SECONDS() increments every millisecond:


For t=1 to 100
? Seconds()
EndFor
