    resolution: str = 'ns',
) -> Instant

Parameter	Type	Description
system optional	bool	`True` to use the system clock; `False` to use the default clock. Under most circumstances, the default clock will return the current system time, but during replay simulations, the default clock can return the replay time. The default is `False`.
resolution optional	str	The resolution of the returned time. The default ‘ns’ will return nanosecond resolution times if possible. ‘ms’ will return millisecond resolution times.

An Instant representation of the current time.
