INtime 3.1 Software
The kernel's RT clock is a counter that the kernel uses to keep track of the number of
kernel clock ticks that have occurred. When the kernel is initialized, the count is set to
0 (zero). The period of a kernel clock tick is configurable via the INtime Configuration
utility and you can read the current configuration using CopyRtSystemInfo.
