(GetTickCount) function: The precision of the function about 55ms, which cannot be measured less than 55 millisecond intervals. All use the default system timer functions are only 55ms accuracy. These functions include: GetSystemTime, GetTickCount, GetSystemTimeAsFileTime and WM_TIMER messages. 2. using the multimedia timer: You can have the precision of 1ms, these functions include: TimeBeginPeriod: set the required timing precision, minimum 1ms TimeGetTime: access time TimeSetEvent: set the timer callback 3. high precision timer: You can have the very high accuracy, but the specific accuracy without system are different. In the PentiumCPU system is higher than that of 100MHz, the general timing accuracy of 1US (s) QueryPerformanceFrequency: gets the time frequency QueryPerformanceCounter: gets 64 time value High precision timer general realization does not exceed 1US accuracy. Inline DWORD __fastcall usTimeCounter (bool Start) { DWORD dwResult; Static LARGE_INTEGER t1; LARGE_INTEGER t2; If (Start) QueryPerformanceCounter (t1); Else QueryPerformanceCounter (t2); DwResult = t2.QuadPart - t1.QuadPart; Return dwResult; } 4. RDTSC instruction: the instruction cycle level timing accuracy. Pentium and above IA-32CPU RDTSC directive, the directive will count CPU instruction cycle starting from RESET into EDX:EAX. The clock frequency will reach CPU frequency. Such as 1GHz CPU, the timing accuracy will reach 1ns (NS). Although the visual development tools such as VC, Win95 Delphi, C++ Builder have a dedicated Timer timer control, and it is easy to use, can achieve a timing function, but only the minimum time of 55ms accuracy, and the timer messages in a multitasking operating system in a very low priority, not to respond in a timely manner, often can not meet the application of real-time control environment. But the Microsoft company in the Win32 API function library is
