Accuracy of tick count?

[Flop]

Using labVIEW 7.0 can I accept the difference between two tick counters as time in miliseconds or do I need to correct? If I need to correct is this possible, i.e. is there a stable ratio between tick number and miliseconds?

The tick count is the 32bit system timer in milliseconds. The difference between two tick counts will be the difference in execution time, accurate to 1ms. If I understand your question correctly, no, you do not need to correct this difference to obtain an accurate time.
