realtime — set dates origin or waits until date
realtimeinit(time_unit) realtime(t)
a real number. The number of seconds associated to the realtime argument
a real number. A date
These two functions can be used to handle real time into Scilab.
realtimeinit(time_unit) defines the time unit
associated to the realtime argument t
first call to realtime(t0) sets current date to
(t0).
subsequent calls to realtime(t) wait till date t is
reached.
realtimeinit(1/2);//sets time unit to half a second
realtime(0);//sets current date to 0
for k=1:10,realtime(k);mprintf('current time is '+string(k/2)+'sec .\r\n');end
//next instruction outputs a dot each 2 seconds
realtimeinit(2); realtime(0);for k=1:10,realtime(k);mprintf('.\r\n');end
realtimeinit(1);realtime(0);
dt=getdate('s'); realtime(10); getdate('s')-dt
