|
A realtime sleep timer is an optional class for Trick simulations.
|
|
|
|
The Realtime Sleep Timer allows the simulation to sleep in case of an frame underrun.
|
|
This is desireable to allow other processes to use the CPU during times where the
|
|
simulation would not be doing anything.
|
|
|
|
Trick provides a Sleep Timer based on the system itimer to sleep during
|
|
simulation inactivity.
|
|
|
|
The user has the ability to enable and disable the sleep timer from the input file.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
trick.itimer_enable()
|
|
trick.itimer_disable()
|
|
```
