stimuli.time.BaseClock

class stimuli.time.BaseClock

Base class for high precision clocks.

If you want to implement a custom clock, you should subclass this class and define the abstract method stimuli.time.BaseClock.get_time_ns() which should return the time elapsed since instantiation in nanoseconds.

Methods

get_time()	Return the current time in seconds.
get_time_ms()	Return the current time in milliseconds.
get_time_ns()	Return the current time in nanoseconds.
get_time_us()	Return the current time in microseconds.

get_time()

Return the current time in seconds.

Returns:

timefloat

The current time in seconds.

get_time_ms()

Return the current time in milliseconds.

Returns:

timefloat

The current time in milliseconds.

abstract get_time_ns()

Return the current time in nanoseconds.

Returns:

timeint

The current time in nanoseconds.

get_time_us()

Return the current time in microseconds.

Returns:

timefloat

The current time in microseconds.
