OS_InitVAlarm

Syntax

#include <nitro/os.h>

void OS_InitVAlarm( void );
 

Arguments

None.

Return Values

None.

Description

This function initializes a V-Count alarm system. Unlike OS_InitAlarm(), this system does not use ticks.

This function, OS_InitVAlarm, must be called before you use any of the V-Count alarm functions. It is called internally by the OS_Init function, so there is no need for the application to call it again. Subsequent calls of this function do nothing.

Call OS_EndVAlarm() when ending V-Count alarm systems. Perform initialization when using V-Count alarms again after that function ends.
