OpenViBE::uint64 representation

[chantrip]

Dear Openvibe team

From the code

Code: Select all

uint64 l_ui64CurrentTimeInRepetition=l_ui64CurrentTimeInTrial%(m_ui64RepetitionDuration+m_ui64InterRepetitionDuration);

from file ovpCBoxAlgorithmP300SpellerStimulator.cpp, when I tried to print out the time using cout>>l_ui64CurrentTimeInRepetition, it shows the time in unsigned int 64 bits. Do you know any function that can convert this value into more intuitive sense? i.e. shows in second or milli-second.

Thank you very much

Hi Jim,

The time in openvibe is coded on 64 bit unsigned integer, fixed point value (32 bits for the seconds; 32 bits for its divisions).
You can tell the log manager to print these values in seconds using the recently introduced time64 type.

Assuming you are in the box implementation (this is a box):

Code: Select all

this->getLogManager() << LogLevel_Info << "Current time in repetition is : " << time64(ui64CurrentTimeInRepetition) << ".\n";

With the default configuration, you will get the time printed in seconds, with 3 digits after the point (eg. "1.234 sec").
This behaviour is controlled by configuration tokens :

Code: Select all

Kernel_ConsoleLogTimeInSecond = True
Kernel_ConsoleLogTimePrecision = 3

For the messages printed in the console.

Hope this helps.
