TIC

Purpose:

Starts the interval timer.

Syntax:

TIC

Returns:

Nothing, the interval timer is started.

Example:

tic;fft(w1);b=toc;

sprintf("FFT execution time %g seconds", b);

prints the approximate time required to calculate and display the FFT of W1.

Example:

W1: gnorm(1024*32, 1)

W2: tic;fft(w1);label(strnum(toc))

W2 is labeled with the approximate time to calculate the FFT of W1.

Example:

W1: gnorm(1024*32, 1)

W2: tic;fft(w1);toclabel

Same as above except TOCLABEL is used.

Remarks:

TIC begins the interval time.

See TOC to return the elapsed time since the last TIC command to a precision of approximately 0.00001 seconds, i.e. 10 microseconds.

See TOCLABEL to label a window with the amount of elapsed time since TIC.
