​
Function Syntax

dword timeNow();

​
Description

Supplies the current simulation time (maximum time: .2^32 * 10 microseconds = 11 hours, 55 minutes, 49 seconds, 672 milliseconds, 96 microseconds) The simulation time can be correlated with the hardware results of the network interface. 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 network interface.
or
  • the message times will have a higher accuracy

​
Parameters

​
Return Values

Simulation time in 10 microseconds.
