I am trying to print out seconds and milliseconds resolution timing and i am using GetSystemTime()
.
This is my code:
GetSystemTime(&datetime);
RETAILMSG(1,(_T("Time After Data Sent to USB: %d:%d\r\n"), datetime.wSecond, datetime.wMilliseconds));
I print to the platform builder debug output using RETAILMSG()
, but i am only able to print up to seconds resolution, so i will see something like 48:0 where the milliseconds is blank.
I am not sure why this is happening as i receive no complaints. I figure it has something to do with the implementation of RETAILMSG()
.
Is there a fix for this or a substitute that i can use to achieve milliseconds resolution?
Thanks,
EDIT: I am developing in Windows Embedded Compact 7
Under windows, the clock resolution is around 15ms.
If you need millisecond resolution, there is a high performance clock that enables you to measure timebelow 10µs range (see here: Acquiring high-resolution time stamps on msdn).
