Parameter
Method
Type
Description
hour
ByRef
Byte
The variable in which to place the hour value (0-23).
minute
ByRef
Byte
The variable in which to place the minutes value (0-59).
seconds
ByRef
Single
The variable in which to place the seconds value.
tick
ByVal
integral
The tick count to decompose.
Discussion
This routine decomposes a tick count into the equivalent hour, minute and second components.  If the tick
count is omitted, the value of Register.RTCTick is used.  The resolution of the seconds value is
1/F_RTC_TICK (typically 1.95ms for ZX devices).
Note that Register.RTCTick is initialized to zero on power-up or reset.  This corresponds to 0:00:00.
Compatibility
This subroutine is not available if the RTC is not enabled in your application.  Also, explicitly specifying
the tick count to use (fourth parameter) is not supported in BasicX compatibility mode.
