Detailed Description

Timer class that works with the s626 board.

The class holds two clocks

  • one that counts up every update cycles by dt,
  • one that reads the "real" time from the s626 board Furthermore, it has 6 stop-watches (working on the first clock) that can be reset to zero as you wish. They simply remember when they got reset and give you the difference between the nowtime and their last resetting time. Usually the timers are used in the following fashion
  • 0: Timer that gives you the time from the start of the last block
  • 1: Timer that gives you the time from the start of the current trial
  • 2: Flexible event timer that you can use in MyTrial::control() to stop the time since the last event.
  • 3: USed by screen to keep track of the screen refresh rate
  • 4: Time elapsed since the last control loop call
  • 5: Time elapsed since the last data record was done.
