Enable - Enables the bean - the internal clocks are counted.

ANSIC prototype: byte Enable(void)

• Return value:byte - Error code, possible codes:
  ERR_OK - OK
  ERR_SPEED - This device does not work in the active speed mode


Disable - Disables the bean - the internal clocks are not counted.

ANSIC prototype: byte Disable(void)

• Return value:byte - Error code, possible codes:
  ERR_OK - OK
  ERR_SPEED - This device does not work in the active speed mode


Reset - Clears the counter.

ANSIC prototype: byte Reset(void)

• Return value:byte - Error code, possible codes:
  ERR_OK - OK
  ERR_SPEED - This device does not work in the active speed mode


GetTicks16 - Returns the number (as a 16-bit unsigned integer) of main oscillator (Xtal) ticks since the last reset.

ANSIC prototype: byte GetTicks16(word *Ticks)

• Ticks: Pointer to word - A pointer to the returned 16-bit value in Xtal ticks
• Return value:byte - Error code, possible codes:
  ERR_OK - OK
  ERR_SPEED - This device does not work in the active speed mode
  ERR_OVERFLOW - Software counter overflow
  ERR_MATH - Overflow during evaluation


GetTicks32 - Returns the number (as a 32-bit unsigned integer) of main oscillator (Xtal) ticks since the last reset.

ANSIC prototype: byte GetTicks32(dword *Ticks)

• Ticks: Pointer to dword - A pointer to the returned 32-bit value in Xtal ticks
• Return value:byte - Error code, possible codes:
  ERR_OK - OK
  ERR_SPEED - This device does not work in the active speed mode
  ERR_OVERFLOW - Software counter overflow
  ERR_MATH - Overflow during evaluation


GetTicks64 - Returns the number (as a 64-bit unsigned integer) of main oscillator (Xtal) ticks since the last reset.

ANSIC prototype: byte GetTicks64(dlong *Ticks)

• Ticks: Pointer to dlong - A pointer to the returned 64-bit value in Xtal ticks
• Return value:byte - Error code, possible codes:
  ERR_OK - OK
  ERR_SPEED - This device does not work in the active speed mode
  ERR_OVERFLOW - Software counter overflow
  ERR_MATH - Overflow during evaluation


GetTimeUS - Returns the time (as a 16-bit unsigned integer) in microseconds since the last resetting after the last reset.

ANSIC prototype: byte GetTimeUS(word *Time)

• Time: Pointer to word - A pointer to the returned 16-bit value in microseconds
• Return value:byte - Error code, possible codes:
  ERR_OK - OK
  ERR_SPEED - This device does not work in the active speed mode
  ERR_OVERFLOW - Software counter overflow
  ERR_MATH - Overflow during evaluation


GetTimeMS - Returns the time (as a 16-bit unsigned integer) in milliseconds since the last resetting after the last reset.

ANSIC prototype: byte GetTimeMS(word *Time)

• Time: Pointer to word - A pointer to the returned 16-bit value in milliseconds
• Return value:byte - Error code, possible codes:
  ERR_OK - OK

  ERR_OVERFLOW - Software counter overflow
  ERR_MATH - Overflow during evaluation


GetTimeSec - Returns the time (as a 16-bit unsigned integer) in seconds since the last resetting after the last reset.

ANSIC prototype: byte GetTimeSec(word *Time)

• Time: Pointer to word - A pointer to the returned 16-bit value in seconds
• Return value:byte - Error code, possible codes:
  ERR_OK - OK
  ERR_SPEED - This device does not work in the active speed mode
  ERR_OVERFLOW - Software counter overflow
  ERR_MATH - Overflow during evaluation


GetTimeReal - Returns the time in seconds since the last resetting as a real (floating point) number. To use this method the compiler have to support floating point operations.

ANSIC prototype: byte GetTimeReal(float *Time)

• Time: Pointer to float - A pointer to the returned floating point value in seconds
• Return value:byte - Error code, possible codes:
  ERR_OK - OK
  ERR_SPEED - This device does not work in the active speed mode
