Since we have these really great integer divisors we can use between 1e7 and 1e0, it becomes trivial. Your counter word only needs to be large enough to handle the maximum possible accumulated error in an interval. In fact, you probably can get by comfortably with an 8-bit counter. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 706 Flightline Drive Spring Branch, TX 78070 [email protected] +1.916.877.5067 _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
