Comment (by Joel Sherrill):

 This is requested as an outcome of [https://gitlab.com/nsf-
 noirlab/gemini/rtsw/epics-base/epics-base/-/issues/30 RTEMS System Tick
 Resolution (#30)] from NSF NOIRLab / Gemini. This is about verifying the
 fidelity of RTEMS System Tick. A recent test of our systemTickTest tool
 inside GemUtils is discussed here.

 The intent is to be clear it is "number of ticks" and not an arbitrarily
 precise "interval". Now that RTEMS can have nanosecond granularity this
 distinction becomes important.
