Unfortunately, there is no equivalent of SetTimer() as in MFC coding. The
best approach I have seen for this is to keep track of time in your main
application loop or main form event handler. After a specificed period has
passed, do your function for logging.
In our Datastick SDK examples, we have the event grabbing call in the
application loop timeout after a few milliseconds if there is no event.
Thus, you will always have your main form event handler called at regular
intervals.
The default for a Metrowerks generated project is to have this event grabber
wait indefinately 'til and event comes in so you need to make sure that it
isn't waiting for a system event.

I also have found SysTaskDelay() to be way to much for anamations like you
want to do.
