System.Timers.Timer仅提供每秒最多64帧

时间:2012-11-22 23:54:18

标签: c# .net winforms timer

我有一个应用程序,它使用System.Timers.Timer对象来引发由主窗体(Windows Forms,C#)处理的事件。我的问题是,无论我设置.Interval(甚至1毫秒)的时间有多短,我每秒最多都会得到64次。

我知道Forms计时器的精度限制为55毫秒,但这是System.Timer变体,而不是表单。

应用程序占用1%的CPU,所以它肯定不受CPU限制。所以它所做的只是:

  • 将Timer设置为1& nsp; ms
  • 当事件触发时,增加_Count变量
  • 再次将其设置为1& nsp; ms并重复

_Count每秒最多增加64次,即使没有其他工作要做。

这是一个“回放”应用程序,它必须复制进来的数据包,它们之间只有1-2毫秒的延迟,所以我需要能够每秒可靠地发射1000次的东西(虽然我会满足于100如果我受CPU限制,我不是。)

有什么想法吗?

尝试Multimedia Timers - 它们为硬件平台提供了最高的准确性。这些计时器以比其他计时器服务更高的分辨率安排事件。

您需要以下Win API函数来设置计时器分辨率,启动和停止计时器:

[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
private static extern int timeGetDevCaps(ref TimerCaps caps, int sizeOfTimerCaps);

[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
private static extern int timeSetEvent(int delay, int resolution, TimeProc proc, int user, int mode);

[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
private static extern int timeKillEvent(int id);

您还需要回调委托:

delegate void TimeProc(int id, int msg, int user, int param1, int param2);

和计时器功能结构

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct TimerCaps
{
    public int periodMin;
    public int periodMax;
}

用法:

TimerCaps caps = new TimerCaps();
// provides min and max period 
timeGetDevCaps(ref caps, Marshal.SizeOf(caps));
int period = 1;
int resolution = 1;
int mode = 0; // 0 for periodic, 1 for single event
timeSetEvent(period, resolution, new TimeProc(TimerCallback), 0, mode);

回调:

void TimerCallback(int id, int msg, int user, int param1, int param2)
{
    // occurs every 1 ms
}

你可以坚持你的设计。您只需将系统中断频率设置为以最大频率运行。为了获得这一点,您只需在代码中的任何位置执行以下代码:

#define TARGET_RESOLUTION 1         // 1-millisecond target resolution

TIMECAPS tc;
UINT     wTimerRes;

if (timeGetDevCaps(&tc, sizeof(TIMECAPS)) != TIMERR_NOERROR) 
{
    // Error; application can't continue.
}

wTimerRes = min(max(tc.wPeriodMin, TARGET_RESOLUTION), tc.wPeriodMax);
timeBeginPeriod(wTimerRes); 

这将强制系统中断周期以最大频率运行。它是一种系统范围的行为,因此甚至可以在单独的过程中完成。别忘了使用

MMRESULT timeEndPeriod(wTimerRes );

完成释放资源并将中断周期重置为默认值。有关详细信息,请参阅Multimedia Timers

您必须将对timeBeginPeriod的每次通话与timeEndPeriod的来电相匹配,并在两次通话中指定相同的最低分辨率。只要每次通话都与timeBeginPeriod的通话匹配,应用就可以进行多次timeEndPeriod通话。

因此,所有定时器(包括您当前的设计)将以更高的频率运行,因为定时器的粒度将得到改善。在大多数硬件上都可以获得1 ms的粒度。

以下是使用wTimerRes的各种设置获得的中断周期列表,用于两种不同的硬件设置(A + B):

ActualResolution (interrupt period) vs. setting of wTimerRes

可以很容易地看出1ms是理论值。 ActualResolution以100 ns为单位给出。 9,766表示0.9766 ms,即每秒1024个中断。 (实际上它应该是0.9765625,这将是9,7656.25 100 ns单位,但是这个精度显然不适合整数,因此被系统舍入。)

很明显,例如平台A并不真正支持timeGetDevCaps返回的所有期间范围(值介于wPeriodMinwPeriodMin之间)。

摘要:多媒体计时器界面可用于修改系统范围的中断频率。因此,所有计时器都会改变其粒度。此外,系统时间更新将相应地更改,它将以更小的步骤更频繁地增加。 但是:实际行为取决于底层硬件。自从引入了更新的计时方案以来,自Windows 7和Windows 8引入以来,这种硬件依赖性已经变得更小了。

基于其他解决方案和评论,我将这个VB.NET代码放在一起。可以粘贴到带有表单的项目中。我理解@ HansPassant的评论说,只要timeBeginPeriod被调用,“常规定时器也会变得准确”。在我的代码中似乎并非如此。

在使用System.Threading.Timer将计时器分辨率设置为最小值后,我的代码会创建一个多媒体计时器,System.Timers.TimerWindows.Forms.TimertimeBeginPeriod。多媒体定时器根据需要以1 kHz运行,但其他定时器仍然停留在64 Hz。所以要么我做错了,要么就没有办法改变内置.NET计时器的分辨率。

修改;更改了代码以使用StopWatch类进行计时。
