Labview timer accuracy on Windows XP

[ticker]

How do LABVIEW (8.2) timers work when the time period is less than the Windows XP tick. We are using timers around 10msec. How accurate can we expect the timer to be on Windows XP? Is LABVIEW bypassing Windows XP tick to avoid Windows timer limitations?

Thanks.

Windows XP has a 1KHz timer. LabVIEW cannot bypass this clock under Windows. The following article explains what kind of accuracy you should expect.

Note that if windows are busy with another application, the time delay could become much bigger, without notice
