60<p>Class for handling system ticks.</p><p>A system tick represents a single clock cycle of the CPU. The conversion constructors and conversion operators let you convert from ticks to <CODE><a href="../../../nn/fnd/TimeSpan/Overview.html">nn::fnd::TimeSpan</a></CODE> objects (which represent actual time), and vice versa. Use <CODE><a href="../../../nn/os/Tick/GetSystemCurrent.html">GetSystemCurrent</a></CODE> to get the number of ticks that have occurred since the system was started up.</p><!-- write here --></div>
