I'm thinking about building a project where I need to measure time between several occurrences.

In the Arduino community there is a lot written about the "Millis-function".
After a quick look into this command it looks like it is a 32bit timer that is increased every millisecond.
This would be perfect for what I want to do.

After a startsignal I want to check two I/O's and find out which of the two has changed first and.. I want to check for these both I/O's how long after the startsignal they changed.

The elapsed time of the two I/O's should be measured but this hasn't has to be 100% accurate. (the time between the start and the end is I guess something about 30 seconds).

If this Millis timer could be used in Flowcode this would be great for this project.
Is there a way I can use it in Flowcode?

The last post about this function was in a forum post from 2016.

My suggestion is to create a global variable representing this "tick" count and use a timer interrupt to increment it by 1 each millisecond (i.e. set the interrupt frequency to 1 kHz). You should then be able to read the value of this variable (or even reset it to zero) whenever you wanted in your main program thread.

The timer component in the storage category should do a similar job to the Arduino function and you can choose your timer via the properties.

Ok didn't know that one.
Will check it out..

Thanks
