yep, I'm afraid that's true. >. I would prefer to work with timestamps "since epoch" instead of > "since start of flowgraph".

That's what Hiwis are for... just kidding. > But if I can find a device that works reliably I may switch to that. ah, if you're working remotely: maybe something like a raspberry Pi with a GPIO? You could remotely trigger it, or you could just synchronize its clock via NTP, and let it toggle a GPIO pin every 500 ms starting at a full second. (and of course you can build the fanciest control loop that makes sure the GPIO timers and NTP time don't diverge. That might actually be what Hiwis are for...) > Thanks for the explanation and ASCII schematic. Always! Also, I've done better schematics; one day, when I have infinite time, I'll make use of more unicode for better living and schematics.
