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_clock : misc.Clock, optional synchronise clock with existing one

cpu_time¶

Getter for CPU time.

init_localtime¶

Getter for init time in local time

init_time¶

Getter for init time in milliseconds.

static monotonic_time()¶

Returns the time of the high-resolution monitonoic timer that is used by Expyriment interally.

reset_stopwatch()¶

“Reset the stopwatch.

The use of the stopwatch does not affect the clock time.

stopwatch_time¶

Getter for time in milliseconds since last reset_stopwatch.

The use of the stopwatch does not affect the clock time.

time¶

Getter for current time in milliseconds since clock init.

wait(waiting_time, callback_function=None, process_control_events=False)¶

Wait for a certain amount of milliseconds.

Parameters:	waiting_time : int time to wait in milliseconds function : function, optional function to repeatedly execute during waiting loop process_control_events : bool, optional process io.Keyboard.process_control_keys() and io.Mouse.process_quit_event() (default = False)
Returns:	quit_event : expyriment.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)¶

Wait for a certain amount of minutes.

Parameters:	time_minutes : int time to wait in minutes callback_function : function, optional function to repeatedly execute during waiting loop process_control_events : bool, optional process io.Keyboard.process_control_keys() and io.Mouse.process_quit_event() (default = False)
Returns:	quit_event : expyriment.control.CallbackQuitEvent object the callback quit even in case a wait function has been registered
