Hmm... do you mean you want to store all samples of an hour and then avarage over it? I think it would be better to just store phase offset points for every second and then avarage over this.

I'm not talking about SuperSpeed. USB2 support has been around for quite some time in ARM7 class uC. But USB2 does not mean you support a certain speed, just the data structures follow the revised standard. Yes, USB2 introduced the HighSpeed mode (the 480Mbit/s), but below ARM9/MIPS class CPUs it wasn't supported until about 2-3 years ago. AFAIK the Atmel SAM3U was one of the first Cortex-M3 with HighSpeed support available in volumes... and that was IIRC late 2009, early 2010. And the number of uC's with HighSpeed support isn't that large yet.
