Hi Imran,

I use the following:

start = CLK_gethtime();
<.... function ... >
stop = CLK_gethtime();
count = stop - start;

STS also uses the same CLK_gethtime().

count gives the number of times a counter has incremented. DM642
increments this counter every 4 CPU clock cycles. So your function
takes:

4 * count / 600 milliseconds.

You should be careful with CLK_gethtime() because the counter may
reach its max. value of 2^32 and reset before your function
completes and you might end up with a wrong timing calculation. I
use CLK_getltime() to check for such resets...
There is also a TSK_deltatime (just like STS_delta), if you want to
calculate the time a task takes...

Suba.
