[pyqtgraph] Timer Precision

[d***@gmail.com]

Hi All,
I am new to pyqtgraph and was curious about the precision of the qtimer.
How accurate is it and Can it do microseconds?
Regards,

Hi,

Clocks are system (hardware, OS) dependent. Documentation
(http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtimer.html) says 1 ms can be expected. You may want
to keep track of events using a separate clock (rather than relying on a
QTimer timeout event). The python time module should help there
(https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html), where you can query the
accuracy of the system clock(s), and access the perf_counter() to get the
most accurate system clock available.
