Peaked around zero in comparison with what? Remember that the serial to usb of dcd and then the decoding of that interrupt is going to institute delays.

But if a factor of 1000 is irrelevant for you, then what you have is fine. > > Sincerely, > > Ron > > _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
