Hi all,
I'm using Win2K and like to communicate with a digital IO card with a
frequence of 200 Hz. I'm using a thread to send data to the card.
The problem is that windows supports only sleep timeslices of 10/15 ms (
depending on processor) or Sleep(0).
If I use Sleep( 0) my process uses a lot of processor time.

Is there a way to create events or sleeps with a resolution of  5 milli
seconds with an accuracy of +/- 1 milli second?

Detlef
