Method Detail

now

double now()

Returns:

Current time = realTime + timeAdvance.

realTime

double realTime()

Returns:

underlying system time with out timeadvance.

setAdvance

void setAdvance(double duration)

Set amount of time to wake up early.

getAdvance

double getAdvance()

Returns:

Amount of time to wake up early.

sleepUntil

void sleepUntil(double time)
                throws java.lang.InterruptedException

Sleep until the specified time minus the advance time.

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException - thrown if Thread.interrupt() called.

setRate

void setRate(double rate)

Set clock rate.

getRate

double getRate()

Returns:

Clock rate in HZ. Normally 1.0.

getNativeTicks

long getNativeTicks()

Override this method to support other integer based clocks like JSyn's.

getNativeRate

double getNativeRate()

Return rate of underlying native clock.

timeToNative

long timeToNative(double time)

Convert JMSL time to underlying native timer ticks.

sleepUntilNative

void sleepUntilNative(long wakeupTicks)
                      throws java.lang.InterruptedException

Sleep until the specified native time.

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException - thrown if Thread.interrupt() called.
