PsychExpAPIs.startTimer — Method
startTimer(win::Window)

Starts a timer. Only one timer can run at a time. If you need more than tha one timer, use Julia's time() function.

Inputs:

  • win::Window
  • waitTime::Float64 default is milliseconds

Outputs: nothing

source
PsychExpAPIs.stopTimer — Method
stopTimer(win::Window)

Stops the global timer and returns the time taken. If you need more than one timer, use Julia's time() function.

Inputs:

  • win::Window

Outputs: The time in [default] milliseconds.

Alternative approach

An alterntiave to calling these functions is to use Julia's built-in time() function, which returns the current time in seconds.

Example:

	...
	draw(myStim)					# draw stimulus
	flip(win)					# flip the window onto the screen
	startTime = time()				# get the current time
	keypressed = getKey(win)			# wait for a keypress
	stopTime = time()				# get the current time 
	timeTaken = stopTime - startTime
	println("It took ", timeTaken * 1000," milliseconds for a keypress.")
