The following functions are available to access RTX64 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.
NOTE: Application timers can only have periods as small as the subsystem's HAL timer period or a multiple of it.
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.
