Description
The StopWatch.Split method returns the number of milliseconds passed since the start of the StopWatch. To convert the number of passed milliseconds into a readable time format, use the StopWatch.ToString routine.
Declaration
StopWatchObj.Split()
| StopWatchObj | An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a StopWatch object | |||
| Result | Integer | |||
Applies To
The method is applied to the following object:
Result Value
The number of milliseconds passed.
Remarks
Use the Split method for running timers only. To get the number of passed milliseconds upon stopping the timer, use the StopWatch.Stop method.
Example
The following code snippet runs several tests and measures how much time has passed since the start of the time counter till the end of each test execution.
JavaScript, JScript
function Test()
{
var Watch;
// Obtains the StopWatch object
Watch = HISUtils.StopWatch;
// Starts the time counter
Watch.Start();
DoTest1();
// Returns the time passed since the start of the time counter
Watch.Split();
Log.Message("Test1 finished. Execution time: " + Watch.ToString());
DoTest2();
// Returns the time passed since the start of the time counter
Watch.Split();
Log.Message("Test2 finished. Execution time: " + Watch.ToString());
…
// Stops the time counter
Watch.Stop();
Log.Message("Testing finished. Execution time: " + Watch.ToString());
}
