Hi Greg,

That’s a very fair question and not one that has been discussed.

Do we have that kind of accuracy from any of our measurement tools? Is that 
even on the horizon?  I haven’t seen that…

If it is time for nanosecond level measurement, then is it time to shift to 
floating point to give us more range?
