Detailed Description

Timer class which repeatedly fires. It's wrapper around the POSIX per-process timer.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~CppTimer()

virtual CppTimer::~CppTimer ( )

inlinevirtual

Destructor disarms the timer, deletes it and disconnect the signal handler.

Member Function Documentation

startms()

virtual void CppTimer::startms ( long  millisecs, cppTimerType_t  t = PERIODIC  )

inlinevirtual

Starts the timer. The timer fires first after the specified time in milliseconds and then at that interval in PERIODIC mode. In ONESHOT mode the timer fires once after the specified time in milliseconds.

Parameters

millisecs	Time in milliseconds
type	Either PERIODIC or ONESHOT

startns()

virtual void CppTimer::startns ( long  nanosecs, cppTimerType_t  t = PERIODIC  )

inlinevirtual

Starts the timer. The timer fires first after the specified time in nanoseconds and then at that interval in PERIODIC mode. In ONESHOT mode the timer fires once after the specified time in nanoseconds.

Parameters

nanosecs	Time in nanoseconds
type	Either PERIODIC or ONESHOT

stop()

virtual void CppTimer::stop ( )

inlinevirtual

Stops the timer by disarming it. It can be re-started with start().

timerEvent()

virtual void CppTimer::timerEvent ( )

protectedpure virtual

Abstract function which needs to be implemented by the children. This is called every time the timer fires.
