Creates a timer that will 'tick' at the instructed Frequency. The frequency is specified as the number of ticks per second. It is valid to use fractional frequencies, for example specifying 0.1 will provide a tick every 10 seconds.
The first command will produce a timer that will tick forever.
The second command will produce a timer that will tick the number of times specified. If a count of zero is specified, then the timer will tick forever.
The frequency of this ticker type cannot be changed directly, but can be affected by the SET TICKER RATE command. By default this ticker type has a 'rate' of 100, so if you change the rate to 200, it will tick half as often, and if you change it to 50, it will tick twice as often. |
