MVIbp_Sleep
Syntax
int MVIbp_Sleep( MVIHANDLE handle, WORD msdelay );
Parameters
handle Handle returned by previous call to MVIbp_Open
msdelay Time in milliseconds to suspend task
Description
MVIbp_Sleep suspends the calling thread for at least msdelay milliseconds. The
actual delay may be several milliseconds longer than msdelay, due to system
overhead and the system timer granularity (5ms).
Return Value
MVI_SUCCESS Success
MVI_ERR_NOACCESS handle does not have access
Example
MVIHANDLE handle;
int timeout=200;
// Simple timeout loop
while(timeout--)
{
// Poll for data, and so on.
// Break if condition is met (no timeout)
// Else sleep a bit and try again
MVIbp_Sleep(10);
}
