Timer Functions

The following functions are available to access RTX timer services:

RtCreateTimer creates a timer associated with a specified clock.
RtCreateTimerEx creates a timer associated with a specified clock on multiprocessor systems.
RtDeleteTimer deletes a previously created timer.
RtCancelTimer cancels the expiration of the specified timer.
RtSetTimer sets the absolute expiration time and repeat interval of the specified timer.
RtSetTimerRelative sets the relative expiration time and repeat interval of the specified timer.

Win 32 and RTSS Programming Considerations

If your application needs to inform other threads of a timer expiration, you should use the appropriate notification object in the handling routine to indicate the event.

Programming Example (RTX Timer and Sleep Calls)
