CycleBurner
Overview
Consumes processing cycles on the target
Discussion
This module recklessly consumes processing cycles on the target. You specify the number of clock ticks to consume per call to the processing function. The units of clock ticks is processor specific, but it matches the information returned by the Audio Weaver profiling function awe_profile.m. Internally, the module has a while loop which waits until the specified number of clock ticks has passed.
Type Definition
typedef struct _ModuleCycleBurner
