Can I use the count tick for measure a duration of a process?

[taoncl]

Hi all

I intend to use the different of two count tick for measuring the duration of the process as shown in my code. But so far, I struck with two problems.
1. I cannot initialize the count tick function.
2. I cannot get the result from that code.

Can anyone help me in this, please?

Thanks,

Noppadon

Just move the initial tick count out of the loop !

Hi Chilly

Many thanks, and as you say, it works after I remove the initial tick count outsind the whil loop, but that time is not like I expect. Because I need to get the execution duration in the sequence loop.

thanks,

That's different...
If you want to time the duration of a process, you ahve to add a frame in the sequence, before reading the ticks. leave the iniatial tick count inside.

Hi

That is sound great, but I cannot open the attachment, because I still uses version 7, so could you please save in Version 7 ?

thanks,

Here it is...

For easy code readability, I would suggest a 3-frame flat sequence to isolate the timing process from all the rest of the code that could occur in a typical loop. (Otherwise you're also never quite sure if the start timing really occurs immediately before the process to be timed.)

Thank you very much in this.
