​
Function Syntax

  • void setTimerCyclic(msTimer t, long firstDuration, long period); // form 1
  • void setTimerCyclic(msTimer t, long period); // form 2
  • void setTimerCyclic(timer t, int64 periodInNs); // form 3

​
Method Syntax (Dynamic)

  • void msTimer::setCyclic(long firstDuration, long period);
  • void msTimer::setCyclic(long period);
  • void timer::setCyclic(int64 periodInNs);

​
Description

Sets a cyclical timer. With form 2, firstDuration is implicitly the same as period, i.e. the timer runs precisely according to period the first time.

​
Parameters

  • t: The timer to be set.
  • firstDuration: Time in milliseconds until the timer runs out for the first time.
  • period: Time in milliseconds in which the timer is restarted in case of expiration.
  • periodInNs: Time in nanoseconds in which the timer is restarted in case of expiration.
