# Time Management
-## Basic Concepts
+## Basic Concepts
Time management provides all time-related services for applications based on the system clock. The system clock is generated by the interrupts triggered by the output pulse of a timer or counter. The system clock is generally defined as an integer or a long integer. The period of an output pulse is a "clock tick". The system clock is also called time scale or tick. The duration of a tick can be configured statically. People use second or millisecond as the time unit, while the operating system uses tick. When operations such as suspending a task or delaying a task are performed, the time management module converts time between ticks and seconds or milliseconds.

+The following parameters are configured:
-- **LOSCFG\_BASE\_CORE\_TICK\_PER\_SECOND**, that is, the number of ticks per second in the system, is configured.
-- **OS\_SYS\_CLOCK**, that is, system clock \(in Hz\), is configured.
+- **LOSCFG\_BASE\_CORE\_TICK\_PER\_SECOND**: number of ticks per second in the system. The value range is (0, 1000].
+- **OS\_SYS\_CLOCK**: system clock, in Hz.
