About TimerDiff

[Jex]

I'm curious how TimerDiff calculate time. I'm found using that operation :

$Test = TimerInit()
Sleep(500)
$Test2 = (TimerInit() - $Test) / ((TimerInit() - $Test) / TimerDiff($Test))
MsgBox("", "", $Test2)

With that method my functions can find TimerDiff but i'm curious what is 341.....

and my second question is TimerInit return which value? How can i get that value without use that function. ( Example dllcall maybe? )

$t1 = TimerInit()

$t2 = 0
$a = DllCall('Kernel32.dll', 'int', 'QueryPerformanceCounter', 'int64*', $t2)
$t2 = $a[1]

MsgBox(0, '', $t1 & @CRLF & $t2)

Thanks Siao.

GaryFrost gave QueryPerformanceCounter in here http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=457702

but i'm didn't understood what is that. I'm found that GetTickCount function : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724408.aspx which will be better for create timer?

Edit:

I'm added 3 timer for test accuracy but QueryPerformanceCounter not give true result :

$Timer = TimerI(1)
$Timer2 = TimerI(2)
$Timer3 = TimerInit()
Sleep(534)
MsgBox("", "", "Timer : " & TimerD($Timer, 1) & @CRLF & "Timer2 : " & TimerD($Timer2, 2) & @CRLF & "Timer3 : " & TimerDiff($Timer3))

Func TimerI($tType = 1)
    If $tType = 1 Then
        $cTimer = DllCall("Kernel32.dll", "int", "GetTickCount")
        $rTimer = $cTimer[0]
    Else
        $cTimer = DllCall("Kernel32.dll", "int", "QueryPerformanceCounter", "int64*", "")
        $rTimer = $cTimer[1] / 3410000
    EndIf
    Return $rTimer
EndFunc

Func TimerD($gTimer, $tType = 1)
    If $tType = 1 Then
        $cTimer = DllCall("Kernel32.dll", "int", "GetTickCount")
        $rTimer = $cTimer[0]
    Else
        $cTimer = DllCall("Kernel32.dll", "int", "QueryPerformanceCounter", "int64*", "")
        $rTimer = $cTimer[1] / 3410000
    EndIf
    Return $rTimer - $gTimer
EndFunc

Ok now working i'm added "/ 341" .

Why i need divide to 341 ( or 3410000 ) for true result ?

That's QueryPerformanceFrequency

GaryFrost gave QueryPerformanceFrequency in here http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=457702

but i'm didn't understood what is that again.

Now timers working thanks.

TimerI(1) = QueryPerformanceCounter & QueryPerformanceFrequency

TimerI(2) = GetTickCount

TımerI(3) = TimerInit & TimerDiff

TimerDiff() returns the number of ticks since last boot time.
