dwAlarmResolution (Compact 2013)

10/16/2014

This variable specifies the resolution of the kernel alarm timer to 1 second.

Syntax

extern DWORD dwAlarmResolution;

Remarks

By default, this value is set to 10000 milliseconds (10 seconds).

To override the default, declare the variable as an external variable in the OEM adaption layer (OAL); then in the call to the OEMInit function, set the value to the desired resolution.

The value should be between 1000 milliseconds (1 second) and 60000 milliseconds (60 seconds).

The notification subsystem uses this variable to trigger user-timed events.
