platform.hw is a function that is part of the platform library.
platform.hw() returns a numeric value that indicates the CPU speed of the host hardware. The higher the number, the faster the hardware.
Examples :
| Return value | Host platform |
|---|---|
| 3 | TI-Nspire ClickPad (B&W) and CX handheld devices |
| 7 | Computer software or Web Player |
This is useful to determine how short the period of a timer can be set. You can precisely know what device is in use by combining that with the platform.isColorDisplay() function, for example.
This has been introduced in TI-Nspire OS 3.2 (Changes).
Syntax
platform.hw() with no arguments.
