Hello,

Could someone please give me an example on how to display the time between 2 events, and also the average time of multiple events?

ex: loop 100
Time1
EventZ
EventZ last for X seconds
Average time is y sec
endloop

Thanks in advance.
 
You can assign the value of $LTIME to a long variable before the script operation(s), then subtract that value from the current value of $LTIME to find the elapsed number of seconds. Something like this:

lStartTime = $LTIME
<your operations go here>
lStartTime = $LTIME - lStartTime will contain the number of seconds it took for the job to complete.

What kind of average are you trying to compute? For each run through the loop?
