I'm using 500 kHz sampling rate.  Wouldn't a lower rate effect my ToF
accuracy?  My understanding is that with 500 kHz sample rate my best ToF
accuracy would be 2 us.  My next question is why is the ToF shifting by
less than 2 us (1/500e3)?  My master clock is 16MHz so maybe the ToF shifts
by multiples of 1/16e9?
