Summary

Starts a high performance resolution counter.

Pascal

 procedure StartCount(var Counter: TJclCounter; const Compensate: Boolean = False);

Parameters

Parameters	Description
var Counter: TJclCounter	Counter object instantiated by this function.
const Compensate: Boolean = False	If compensate is True the class internally determines the overhead associated with calling the user calling the Start and Stop methods and corrects the resulting time; thereby providing a more accurate timing. By default, for backwards compatibility, no compensation takes place.

Description

StartCount starts a high performance resolution counter. It returns a reference to a newly created TJclCounter object. You'll need to hang on to this object to later stop the counter and retrieve the elapsed time. StartCount is the equivalent of instantiating a TJclCouter and immediately calling it's Start method.
