Parameters

Description

These two functions can be used to handle real time into Scilab.

realtimeinit(time_unit) defines the time unit associated to the realtime argument t

first call to realtime(t0) sets current date to (t0). subsequent calls to realtime(t) wait till date t is reached.

Examples

   realtimeinit(1/2);//sets time unit to half a second
   realtime(0);//sets current date to 0
   for k=1:10,realtime(k);mprintf('current time is '+string(k/2)+'sec .\r\n');end
 
  //next instruction outputs a dot each 2 seconds
   realtimeinit(2); realtime(0);for k=1:10,realtime(k);mprintf('.\r\n');end

   realtimeinit(1);realtime(0);
   dt=getdate('s'); realtime(10);   getdate('s')-dt
