Ticks per second = 356!!!!??

[Edmund]

Hi,

I've tested with this result on POSE:

SysTicksPerSecond() return 100

BUT:
{
UInt32 startTime;
 startTime = TimGetSeconds();
 while (TimGetSeconds()==startTime){}  //wait until end of the current
second
 pref->ticksFor1sec = TimGetTicks();  //start of a second
 startTime++;
 while (TimGetSeconds()==startTime){}  //wait for a second
 ticksFor1sec = TimGetTicks() - ticksFor1sec;
}

ticksFor1sec is 356!!!

I use this value to test when user has pen down for 0.5 second:

tickForHalfSec = ticksFor1sec / 2;         //somewhere to init

  case penDownEvent:
    // .........
   penDownTick =TimGetTicks();
   break;

  case penUpEvent:
    UInt32 curTick;
    curTick = TimGetTicks();
    if (curTick-penDownTick >= tickForHalfSec){
            //do my stuff
    }

Running this shows the ticks per second is really 356, but not 100! But it's
not happened on PalmSim! Should i use SysTicksPerSecond anymore?

Thanks

Edmund
