ML1100 Click to expand... S:4/10 is not every second = 1.024 seconds See Appendix system status file 1763-rm001 Look at the RTC What time are you counting - minutes? hours? days? What is the largest number you are counting to? eg Hours run for the next 5 years or 24 * 10 days in minutes (14400 minutes) What accuracy are you after? - 0.1 of a second every 24 hours or is it 1 hour +/- 30 seconds
