There is no exact replacement for tickGet.

EPICS base 3.14.x provides two time related libCom modules: epicsTime 
and epicsTimer.

epicsTime - manipulates epics time stamps. It provides MANY 
methods/functions to manipulate the time stamps. It can get the current 
time, compute time differences, convert to other representations of 
time, etc.

epicsTimer - A timer facility that replaces taskDelay

Also epicsThread provides epicsThreadSleepQuantum which gives the time 
in seconds between clock interrupts. This is a replacement for 
sysClkRateGet.

I will guess that what you want is  epicsTimeGetCurrent to replace 
tickGet and then use epicsTimeDiffInSeconds to compute the difference in 
time between two calls to tickGet.

Consult the Application Developer's Guide for details.
