TIME
FUNCTION: Time Operand (Keyword)
DESCRIPTION:
The TIME operand returns the value of the internal free running, real time clock. The
returned value represents the number of servo loop updates and is based on the TM
command. The default value for the TM command is 1000. With this update rate, the
operand TIME will increase by 1 count every update of approximately 1000usec. Note
that a value of 1000 for the update rate (TM command) will actually set an update rate of
976 microseconds. Thus the value returned by the TIME operand will be off by 2.4% of
the actual time.
The clock is reset to 0 with a standard reset or a master reset.
The keyword, TIME, does not require an underscore "_" as does the other operands.
