Hi Nick, 

        If you refer to the Shimmer Packet Format document (which can be
found on the shimmer website) you will find that the packet contains
a 16bit time stamp value. 

        Below is an excerpt from the document explaining what the values
mean: 

        'Time Stamp - The time stamp will contain an integer value with each
increment representing 31.25uS of real time. This is a Time Stamp
coming from a 32KHz clock on Shimmer and is 

        thus ticking/incrementing 32 times per millisecond.' 

        I hope this helps. 

        Regards, 

        JC

  I noticed in the shimmer FAQ it said that   
  "TinyOS timers’ interval argument is not actually counted in
milliseconds, but 1/1024 seconds" 
  Does this apply to timestamps for data collection as well? From
what i can tell it doesnt because the data collection are marked by
cpu cycle time stamps not ms. 
  Thanks, 
  Nick
