Detailed Description

A time_spec_t holds a seconds and a fractional seconds time value. Depending upon usage, the time_spec_t can represent absolute times, relative times, or time differences (between absolute times).

The time_spec_t provides clock-domain independent time storage, but can convert fractional seconds to/from clock-domain specific units.

The fractional seconds are stored as double precision floating point. This gives the fractional seconds enough precision to unambiguously specify a clock-tick/sample-count up to rates of several petahertz.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ time_spec_t() [1/3]

uhd::time_spec_t::time_spec_t ( double  secs = 0)

Create a time_spec_t from a real-valued seconds count.

Parameters
secsthe real-valued seconds count (default = 0)

◆ time_spec_t() [2/3]

uhd::time_spec_t::time_spec_t ( int64_t  full_secs,
double  frac_secs = 0 
)

Create a time_spec_t from whole and fractional seconds.

Parameters
full_secsthe whole/integer seconds count
frac_secsthe fractional seconds count (default = 0)

◆ time_spec_t() [3/3]

uhd::time_spec_t::time_spec_t ( int64_t  full_secs,
long  tick_count,
double  tick_rate 
)

Create a time_spec_t from whole seconds and fractional ticks. Translation from clock-domain specific units.

Parameters
full_secsthe whole/integer seconds count
tick_countthe fractional seconds tick count
tick_ratethe number of ticks per second

Member Function Documentation

◆ from_ticks()

static time_spec_t uhd::time_spec_t::from_ticks ( long long  ticks,
double  tick_rate 
)
static

Create a time_spec_t from a 64-bit tick count. Translation from clock-domain specific units.

Parameters
ticksan integer count of ticks
tick_ratethe number of ticks per second

◆ get_frac_secs()

UHD_INLINE double uhd::time_spec_t::get_frac_secs ( void  ) const

Get the fractional part of the time in seconds.

Returns
the fractional seconds

◆ get_full_secs()

UHD_INLINE int64_t uhd::time_spec_t::get_full_secs ( void  ) const

Get the whole/integer part of the time in seconds.

Returns
the whole/integer seconds

◆ get_real_secs()

double uhd::time_spec_t::get_real_secs ( void  ) const

Get the time as a real-valued seconds count. Note: If this time_spec_t represents an absolute time, the precision of the fractional seconds may be lost.

Returns
the real-valued seconds

◆ get_tick_count()

long uhd::time_spec_t::get_tick_count ( double  tick_rate) const

Convert the fractional seconds to clock ticks. Translation into clock-domain specific units.

Parameters
tick_ratethe number of ticks per second
Returns
the fractional seconds tick count

◆ operator+=() [1/2]

time_spec_t& uhd::time_spec_t::operator+= ( const time_spec_t )

Implement addable interface.

◆ operator+=() [2/2]

time_spec_t& uhd::time_spec_t::operator+= ( double &  )

◆ operator-=() [1/2]

time_spec_t& uhd::time_spec_t::operator-= ( const time_spec_t )

Implement subtractable interface.

◆ operator-=() [2/2]

time_spec_t& uhd::time_spec_t::operator-= ( double &  )

◆ to_ticks()

long long uhd::time_spec_t::to_ticks ( const double  tick_rate) const

Convert the time spec into a 64-bit tick count. Translation into clock-domain specific units.

Parameters
tick_ratethe number of ticks per second
Returns
an integer number of ticks
