I'm doing a project and I need to put a clock of 1Mhz (period of 1 microsec )in a pin of my parallel port. But programming in Windows the minimum timer interval that I get is 1 milisec. How can I get a faster timer?? Has any function in a standard c++ lib? It's essential to me. Help me please. Thanks. Renato Eng.Eletrica - UFV
