Starts a stopwatch to find out the duration of a process (in milliseconds) and resets an existing stopwatch. The timing is stopped: It timing is stopped, it can be restarted by ChronoResume.
The value of the stopwatch can be read at any time:
  • with ChronoValue.
  • Versions 24 and later
    via the ..Value property of the Chrono variable.

Syntax

Timing with a stopwatch number Hide the details

ChronoStart([<Stopwatch number>])
<Stopwatch number>: Optional integer
Identifier of stopwatch used.
If this parameter is not specified, its default value is set to 1.
If this number corresponds to an existing stopwatch, this stopwatch is reset to zero.

Remarks

Error

A WLanguage error occurs ("The stopwatch is not started") if ChronoStart was not called before ChronoValue and ChronoEnd.

Threads and parallel tasks

Each thread (and each parallel task) includes its own stopwatches.
Two distinct threads (or two distinct parallel tasks) can perform separate timings by using the same stopwatch number.
The WLanguage error "The stopwatch is not started" will occur only if ChronoStart is not called in the same thread (or in the same parallel task) as ChronoValue and ChronoEnd.
