a question about timer

[wildsun]

A programming error may be introduced by inputting the new time instead of

ignoring it with a cast to void, as in
t when timerafter (time) :> time;
Because the processor completes the input shortly after the time specified is
reached, this operation actually increments the value of time by a small additional
amount. This amount may be compounded over multiple loop iterations, leading
to signal drift and ultimately a loss of synchronisation with a receiver.
 
XC Programming Guide P22----So, this function can be used for industrial design and control it? Accurate and longtime run~

Hi,

We can use port timestamp functionality if it is based on IO events.
