<p>Sometimes the resolution offered by QTime ( millisecond ) is not accurate enough for implementing time measurements ( f.e. sampling ). <a class="el" href="class_qwt_system_clock.html" title="QwtSystemClock provides high resolution clock time functions.">QwtSystemClock</a> offers a subset of the QTime functionality using higher resolution timers ( if possible ).</p>
<p>Precision and time intervals are multiples of milliseconds (ms).</p>
<dl class="note"><dt><b>Note:</b></dt><dd>The implementation uses high-resolution performance counter on Windows, mach_absolute_time() on the Mac or POSIX timers on other systems. If none is available it falls back on QTimer. </dd></dl>
