Hi All,

I was wondering how the exact timeinterval between executing different lines of code in a program can be measured. Would this be done with clicks?
thnx,
Marc

It depends of the device CPU... It will be faster on 1GHZ than on 400MHZ... For test you can create a Timer control, and write between each line "nbr=nbr+1" and set 1ms to the timer, enable it before your code and on Tick you return "nbr"... But I don't think that it'll work...

A Timer will not be accurate enough for such job.
You should use GetTickCount from this library: http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional-libraries/384-useful-library.html#post1679
It is much more accurate.
