Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TimeCounter() [1/2]

ML_UTILS_EXPORT ml::TimeCounter::TimeCounter ( )

Constructs a time counter object and saves the current time count as a start value.

◆ TimeCounter() [2/2]

ML_UTILS_EXPORT ml::TimeCounter::TimeCounter ( const TimeCounter originalCount)

Constructs a new time counter with the time count of originalCount.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getCountResolutionInNanoSeconds()

static ML_UTILS_EXPORT MLdouble ml::TimeCounter::getCountResolutionInNanoSeconds ( )
static

Returns the time interval between two timer counts in nano-seconds.

◆ getCountResolutionInSeconds()
