Time interval in milliseconds between two events

[Urishev]

How to calculate the time interval in milliseconds between two events?

Here is my example which doesn't work:

[set TimeEvent1 to] [call Clock1.GetMillis instant] [call Clock1.Now]
[set TimeEvent2 to] [call Clock1.GetMillis instant] [call Clock1.Now]
[set Interval to] [[get TimeEvent2] - [get TimeEvent1]]

Your Interval came back 0, right?

You just established that that your code runs very fast.

Hello.
Thanks for your help.
I came to the conclusion that to calculate the interval in milliseconds it is better to use the call Clock1.Duration start end block

In what way? And in this way it doesn't seem to make much sense anyway.
