Timer in Linux

[Guillaume Dargaud]

Hello All,
does the function Timer() work in Linux ?
It always returns 0.
Any alternative for 'precise' timing (more precise than time() ) ?

I couldn't get it to work even though the CVI documentation states that on
Linux the precision is 1ms.

I used a #define and then:
struct timeval tp;
gettimeofday(&tp, NULL);
return (double)tp.tv_sec + tp.tv_usec*1e-6;


Another minor bug I found in Linux: doing [shift][Tab] on the UIR doesn't
move back through the controls.

Hi Guillaume,

Unfortunately we were unable to reproduce either of the issues you mentioned.  If I remember correctly from your previous posts, you are using some sort of derived version of Red Hat.  Thus we were wondering if you could test your code out on one of NI supported Linux versions found in the Using Linux with LabWindows/CVI section here. This would tell us if the issues you are having are due to that unsupported version.

Best Regards,
