Detailed Description

Timer.

Synopsis

This class implements timer function. PIP timers supports 3 way to tick notify, deferred start and frequency delimiters.

Notify variants

Notify variants:

• "slot" - static function with format void func(int delimiter) or lambda expression;
• event - tickEvent();
• virtual function - tick().

Lambda should be [ ]( ){ } or [ ](int){ } format.

All these variants are equivalent, use most applicable.

Frequency delimiters

Frequency delimiter is an integer number and "slot" function. If "slot" function is null timer main "slot" will be used. Each delimiter numbers tick timer will be execute delimiters or timer main "slot" function with delimiter value = delimiter number.

Example:

void tfunc(int delim) {
    piCout << "tick with delimiter" << delim;
};
void tfunc4(int delim) {
    piCout << "tick4 with delimiter" << delim;
};
int main() {
    PITimer timer(tfunc);
    timer.addDelimiter(2);
    timer.addDelimiter(4, tfunc4);
    timer.start(50);
    piMSleep(200);
    timer.stopAndWait();
    return 0;
};
/* Result:
tick with delimiter 1
tick with delimiter 1
tick with delimiter 2
tick with delimiter 1
tick with delimiter 1
tick with delimiter 2
tick4 with delimiter 4
*/

Member Function Documentation

tickEvent()

void PITimer::tickEvent

(

int

delimiter

)

Raise on timer tick.

"delimiter" is frequency delimiter, 1 for main loop.
