TickConvertToMilliseconds Function

DWORD TickConvertToMilliseconds(
    DWORD dwTickValue
);

This function converts a Tick value or difference to milliseconds. For example, TickConvertToMilliseconds(32768) returns 1000 when a 32.768kHz clock with no prescaler drives the Tick module interrupt.

None

Input value expressed in milliseconds.

This function performs division on DWORDs, which is slow. Avoid using it unless you absolutely must (such as displaying data to a user). For timeout comparisons, compare the current value to a multiple or fraction of TICK_SECOND, which will be calculated only once at compile time.
