System time in microseconds

The static method System.currentTimeMillis() give us the system time in milliseconds. Is there any method that can give us the system time with a microscond resolution ?
Thanks for your attention.

The system time is not even accurate in milliseconds on many operating systems. In Windows, I think it is only accurate to 50 milliseconds.

  • Accesing the Microsecond system timer

    Greetings.
    I'm currently using a Timer timer to create Events which I use to create FPS (frames per second) in a game. However, it appers that the Java Timer class has the same limitations as MFC, which is that the timer can only go to something like 55 Milliseconds, even tho it lets you set it as low as 1 ms.
    Even if I could set my timer to 1 ms and have it cause events that fast, I'm not sure if that would be fast enough, so I'd like to get ahold of the microsecond system timer like is possible in C++.
    Want to know if this is even possible, and how if it is.
    Thanks

    Ok, got the system timer thing figured out. Using the JMK and SystemTimeBase.getNanoseconds(), I can get ahold of a long: 999494375000000000
    Which is obviously too long to fit in a long, which the compiler is quick to remind me. And I'm not sure how to get it into a long because simply dividing doesn't work.
    can't seem to get it into a string or just ahold of part of it (preferrably the beginning) or anything.
    So, if there's a nice way to do this that would be great!
    And while we're at it... is there a way to get ahold of the system frequency, like with Win32 QueryPerformanceFrequency ( as quoted in previous reply to my previous post, thanks!).
    Thanks!

  • Current time in microseconds

    For one of my programs i want to find the current time in microseconds. How do i get this in Java?

    The server makes the OS calls that hook into the system processor cycle count,....
    Java doesn't directly provide this functionality.Which brings up an interesting question/point (I think).
    Since Java provides an sql.TimeStamp class to map to an sql database supporting nanos, how does Java instantiate this class as far as nanos are concerned? Unless the only thing its good for is for READING sql TIMESTAMP values.
    My understanding of this is important as it can impact my db design. I would rather have my ejb's create this data in the j2ee server, when doing sql INSERT's, rather than having the db itself do the TIMESTAMP with a trigger (for a variety of reasons, including cache maintenance). But if the nanos are all zero(!)...well, need to use a trigger.
    Thanks

  • I need to get the system time in Micro second

    Hi,
    In the java API there is a static method �curentTimeMillis�, but I need
    to get the system time in Micro second there is a equivalent method? Or
    there exists any suggested solution?
    Thanks
    Dany

    Why do you need such accurate timing ?
    I'd be suprised if anyone seriously relies on millisecond timing in
    Java, never mind calling through to JNI to get microsecond timing.
    If that's even possible in native code.
    The garbage collector can cause delays/pauses in a java program and
    throw timings off by at least 500 milliseconds, probably more under big loads.
    If you just want a more accuruate way to reset a random seed, there's probably other ways...

  • Getting time in microseconds

    With the class java.lang.System you can have time in milli seconds via the function getTimeMillis().
    I should be very helpfull to have another function like this getTimeMicros() that returns time in microseconds.
    Because in some tests I made I did not have enough precision with time in milliseconds. So I hope for the JDK 1.5.1 this function will be created.
    Thanks a lot.

    I was requesting precision in microseconds but I was
    not expecting to have it in nanos ! It's wonderlfull
    It could not be more precise anymore !Well, this makes sense only if the underlying OS
    supports it. Don't expect nanosecond accuracy unless
    you actually test it on the platform you're going to
    run it on.Moreover it might not be 1 nano either. Just as millis are not necessarily 1 milli.

  • Retrieve Computer time in microsecond

    to retrieve computer time i use the function System.currentTimeMillis() but i need the time in microsecond. how could i get that?

    <snip>
    Java 1.5 added nanosecond methods for hardware/OS
    combinations that can support it.Which at current includes none at all :)<snip>
    Are you saying that System.nanoTime() isn't supported at the present time?
    That's not correct - I am running a 3 GB Pentium 4, a relatively recent GigaByte m/b and XP Pro, and get very good microsecond and submicrosecond results from the method.
    I executed 2 consecutuive calls to the method, like so
    startTime = System.nanoTime();
    estimatedTime = System.nanoTime() - startTime;and averaged 100 repetitions.
    Results vary with the manner in which the jvm is executed. Here's a summary of results, to give a feel for what's possible.
    Program Execution From        Nanoseconds (average)
    Commandline                     1300
    CrimsonEditor                    500
    jEdit                            700
    NetBeans IDE 4.1                1050So, depending on the method of execution, nanosecond precision ranges from 500 to 1300 (0.5 microsecond to 1.3 microsecond). Accuracy (repeatability) is not as good - there are outliers in the individual times, probably due to Garbage Collections. However excluding those outliers, times appear reasonably repeatable.

  • How do i plot with the operating system time in one plot and show lines between cursors in another using the same XY graph?

    I am having some trouble graphing two plots at once. One plot is to show the current temperature inside a chamber as a function of time. I am trying to pick the current time and temperature each second and plot it with each point being connected by a line. I am able to show a moving, blinking dot each second but I can't figure out how to develop an actual line with these dots. To make matters worse, the blinking dot is back in the year 1903. I understand that it uses seconds elapsed since 1903, and am trying to find out how to graph the current temperature with the system time.
    The second plot is just 5 moveable cursors that are to be connected by a line. I am able to move the cursors and retrieve the position information, but I can't make a line between them.
    I have attached my main .vi, though you may have to pick the graphing part off to have it work for you.

    Main Module Chamber Testing I_O every 30 sec.vi ‏288 KB

    You're not creating the XY graph data correctly. I've attached an example with a couple of simple XY Graphs. One is using a couple of shift registers to hold the spearate x and y arrays. I think this is what you were trying to do. The other one uses a VI from the shipping examples called XY Chart. It makes an XY Grpah act like a chart. I've also shown the correct way to display current time.Message Edited by Dennis Knutson on 05-12-2005 03:51 PM

  • How to create a type of 'alarm event' based on acquired sensor data and system time?

    Hello all,
    I'm fairly new to LabVIEW and have successfully created a VI that reads voltage data from sensors.  Each sensor outputs 2 voltage values and I treat these values as 2 different DBL values.  I'd like to be able to record each voltage value as a base and then compare the subsequent data readings with that base.  Once the base is determined, I'd like a sort of 'variable' set as "TIME" to be recorded at the moment the base voltage is recorded.
    The alarm should occur (or anything Boolean set to TRUE I guess) once the continuously read voltage remains within certain limits for about 2 hours.  I know I can compare the system time w/ the "TIME" that the voltage base value was recorded.  If the voltage readings escape those limits, I'd like the voltage base value reset and the TIME set to the corresponding system time again.
    I apologize in advance if this I haven't' described my problem well, but if anyone could help me figure out the best way to create this code, I would appreciate it much!
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    ill try to illustrate a couple scenarios:
    keep in mind that i dont necessarily want the voltages in these specific ranges, but just a range of +/- 20 mV ... in an above post i refer to a "base" voltage reading, in this case that would be 200 mV for V1 and 400 mV for V2, just because the voltage has shifted to those values for an extended amount of time each (> 2 seconds)
    Scenario 1
    1:00 pm
    Sensor readings
    Voltage 1: 200 mV
    Voltage 2: 400 mV
    between 1:00 and 3:00 pm:
    Voltage 1 does not deviate from 180-220 mV range
    Voltage 2 does not deviate from 380-420 mV range
    at 3:00pm I want an alert/alarm/Boolean to change to 'true'
    Scenario 2
    1:00 pm
    Sensor readings
    Voltage 1: 200 mV
    Voltage 2: 400 mV
    at 1:45 pm:
    Voltage 1: 2 mV
    Voltage 2: 600 mV
    Since the voltage has shifted out of the range, i want the new base voltage to equal whatever it changed to out of the range, and also the time spent within the new range (2 +/- 20 mV and 600 +/- 20 mV, respectively for V1 and V2) would be reset, so a new 2-hour counter would begin

    Hi,
    I am developing a template in which I am required to show data of current year only. Is there any method by which I can get system time(from which I will extract year) ?

    Thanks,
    I already have found it on page 260 of oracle bi publisher guide.
    sysdate() <?xdofx:sysdate()?> SYSDATE returns the current date and time.
    The datatype of the returned value is DATE.
    The function requires no arguments.
