expyriment.misc.Clock
- class expyriment.misc.Clock(sync_clock=None)
Basic timing class.
Unit of time is milliseconds.
- __init__(sync_clock=None)
Create a clock.
- Parameters:
- sync_clockmisc.Clock, optional
synchronise clock with existing one
- property init_localtime
Getter for init time in local time
- property init_time
Getter for init time in milliseconds.
- static monotonic_time()
Returns the time of the high-resolution monotonic timer that is used by Expyriment internally.
- reset_stopwatch()
“Reset the stopwatch.
The use of the stopwatch does not affect the clock time.
- property stopwatch_time
Getter for time in milliseconds since last reset_stopwatch.
The use of the stopwatch does not affect the clock time.
- property time
Getter for current time in milliseconds since clock init.
- wait(waiting_time, callback_function=None, process_control_events=False, low_performance=False)
Wait for a certain amount of milliseconds.
- Parameters:
- waiting_timeint
time to wait in milliseconds
- functionfunction, optional
function to repeatedly execute during waiting loop
- process_control_eventsbool, optional
process
io.Keyboard.process_control_keys()andio.Mouse.process_quit_event()(default = False)- low_performancebool, optional
reduce CPU performance (and allow potential threads to run) while waiting at the cost of less timing accuracy (default = False)
- Returns:
- quit_eventexpyriment.control.CallbackQuitEvent object
the callback quit even in case a wait function has been registered
- wait_minutes(time_minutes, callback_function=None, process_control_events=False, low_performance=False)
Wait for a certain amount of minutes.
- Parameters:
- time_minutesint
time to wait in minutes
- callback_functionfunction, optional
function to repeatedly execute during waiting loop
- process_control_eventsbool, optional

- Parameters:
- time_secint
time to wait in seconds
- callback_functionfunction, optional
