Syntax

float TimeNowNS();

int64 timeNowInt64();

Function

Supplies the current simulation time.

The simulation time can be correlated with the hardware results of the interface cards (e.g. CANcardXL).
The resolution of this time is dependent upon the hardware used (usually a millisecond or better).

Depending on the hardware configuration, the simulation time

  • will be the same as the message time calculated by the interface cards
    (e.g., system with two CAN channels connected to one CANcardXL)

or

  • the message times will have a higher accuracy
