wp34S TICKS Command: How Much Time? Message #1 Posted by Jake Schwartz on 12 July 2011, 3:44 p.m. Hi, What is the granularity of the wp34S TICKS command? I could not find this info in the manual, nor in a search of the HP Museum Forum. It appears that a time "TICK" is around 0.1 second, but I wanted to be sure. Thanks, Jake

TICKS should be accurate to .1 seconds. This depends of course on the accuracy of the oscillator. I'm pretty sure, Walter will answer with a page in the manual.

Message #3 Posted by Paul Dale on 12 July 2011, 5:34 p.m., in response to message #1 by Jake Schwartz The granularity is 0.1 seconds give or take the oscillator. In float mode, a value in seconds is returned. In integer mode, ten times this value is returned. - Pauli Edited: 12 July 2011, 5:34 p.m.
