I need to measure the latency of an OSC client written in C# which is sending packets to MAX. To do this, I need a way for MAX to access current system time--not cpuclock which seems to measure the time since MAX was launched--but the computer's current system time, to a 1 ms resolution. Does anyone know of an object or external that does this?

The 'ticks' message to [date] provides the time since startup to the nearest 1/60th of a second.

But why not use cpuclock? Whether you're comparing to system startup or Max startup is perhaps irrelevant, since to measure latency you just subtract one time reading from another to find the difference.
