I've got a file with counter values that are latched once per second,

reading isn't perfect.. it could run fast or slow.
I want to process the count values in timelab, and I was wondering if it
knows to eliminate the duplicates, or if I write some code to strip the
dupes.
That's a pretty scary problem to have. Are these frequency counts or TI
readings? You wouldn't normally see two identical TI readings in a row, but if
they're frequency counts, how do you know for sure you're eliminating a
duplicate reading, as opposed to one that just happened to be the same as the
last?
There's nothing that TimeLab can do to help with this scenario, I'm afraid.
Stable32 may be able to remove duplicate TI readings, but otherwise, yes, you'd
need to write some kind of script to preprocess the sample file.
latched counts from a free running counter, so difference between
successive different values is basically "frequency"...
Timelab worked perfectly after fooling around with my file parser that
generates the data files.
