Test Time measurement

Question

Hi all,

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I have seen a function that stores the run time. I need a function that captures the test time from the moment I click run until the analysis is complete. I'm using JSL. Thanks

I think most people use the Today() function for this.  For instance,

Names Default To Here( 1 );
starttime = Today();
pl = {};
For( i = 1, i <= 10000000, i++,
	Insert Into( pl, i )
);
endtime = Today();
Print( "Execution took " || Char( endtime - starttime ) || " seconds." );

I like to use HP Time(), which works just like Today(), but it's in microseconds.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
starttime = HP Time();
pl = {};
For( i = 1, i <= 10000000, i++,
	Insert Into( pl, i )
);
endtime = HP Time();
Print( "Execution took " || Char( endtime - starttime ) || " microseconds." );

There is also a function called Tick Seconds() that can be used

Names Default To Here( 1 );
t1 = Tick Seconds();
Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
t2 = Tick Seconds();
Round( t2 - t1, 3 );
