Tick
[TCP/IP Stack from Microchip Version 4.50 (Modified)]

---

Detailed Description

The Tick module provides accurate time-keeping capabilities based on the hardware clock.

By default, it uses Timer 0 on 8-bit parts and Timer 1 on 16- and 32-bit families. The module is interrupt driven, which makes the timing stable and accurate. As such, it is also suitable for a real-time clock.

The Tick module exists to assist with the implementation of non-blocking delays and timeouts. Rather than using a loop to count to a specific number, use the Tick module and compare a previous time with the current time. In this fashion applications can return its unused cycles to the stack during long delays, which increases the overall efficiency of the system.
