[comp.sys.mac] millisecond timing with TimeMgr

joe@amos.ling.ucsd.edu (Joe) (07/13/89)

I am currently writing an application to time user responses to 
screen images in milliseconds. My problem is that the TimeMgr
section of inside mac is unclear.

I very much need advice on how to use the time manager; I
think most of my confusion revolves around the fact that I
can't seem to figure out how the QElem structure is organized.

How do I define a task? If I want to know how many milliseconds
are going by, what do I do? What sorts of side-effects will
there be on the machine when I play around with the interrupts
like this?

Does anyone have any PD source code they would part with?
I would prefer C, but I can read Pascal.

Thanks in advance.

I'm interested in the answer to the question "How to time events in units
faster than tickcounts" too.  Please include me in any mailings covering
this subject.
