ros::WallRate::WallRate

(

double

Member Function Documentation

cycleTime()

WallDuration ros::WallRate::cycleTime

(

)

const

Get the actual run time of a cycle from start to sleep.

Returns

The runtime of the cycle

Definition at line 154 of file rate.cpp.

expectedCycleTime()

WallDuration ros::WallRate::expectedCycleTime ( ) const

inline

Get the expected cycle time – one over the frequency passed in to the constructor.

Definition at line 122 of file rate.h.

reset()

void ros::WallRate::reset

(

)

Sets the start time for the rate to now.

Definition at line 149 of file rate.cpp.

sleep()

bool ros::WallRate::sleep

(

)

Sleeps for any leftover time in a cycle. Calculated from the last time sleep, reset, or the constructor was called.

Returns

Passes through the return value from WallDuration::sleep() if it slept, false otherwise.
