stimuli.time.Clock

class stimuli.time.Clock

Clock which keeps track of time in nanoseconds.

The origin t=0 corresponds to the instantiation of the stimuli.time.Clock object. The time is measured either through the monotonic time.monotonic_ns() function or through the performance counter time.perf_counter() function, depending on which one has the highest resolution.

Attributes

t0	The time of instantiation of the clock in seconds.

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.
reset()	Reset the clock to zero.
