Example Usage

          void TaskX (void *p_arg)
          {
              OS_ERR  err;
           
           
              while (DEF_ON) {
                  :
                  :
                  OSTimeSet(0,
                            &err);        /* Reset the system clock  */
                  /* Check "err" */
                  :
                  :
