TIMER

Resets the internal clock. This feature is used in conjunction with the ZPL function ETIM() for measuring the elapsed time since the last TIMER command.

Syntax:

TIMER 
 

Discussion:

TIMER and ETIM() are used primarily for testing execution efficiency of the ZPL interpreter and various program architectures.

Example:

i = 0
TIMER
LABEL 1
x = RAND(1000)
i = i+1
if i < 10000 THEN GOTO 1
FORMAT .1
PRINT "Elapsed time:", ETIM(), "Seconds"
