Properties

Name Type Description
currAppTick [get] TickDuration The current number of system ticks since the application started. The number of ticks per second varies from system to system. This uses a monotonic clock.
currStdTime [get] long Returns the number of hnsecs since midnight, January 1st, 1 A.D. for the current time.
currSystemTick [get] TickDuration The current system tick. The number of ticks per second varies from system to system. currSystemTick uses a monotonic clock, so it's intended for precision timing by comparing relative time values, not for getting the current system time.
