Subject: sub-ms precision timestamps? 

Putting sub-ms precision into the header does not make sense, since the USB transfer only happens in time-slots of about 2 ms. To get better timing, you would need a hardware time clock in the FPGA, which does not exist right now.

Best,
Stefan

Dear DRS4 community,

Is there a way to extract timestamps with sub-ms precision? The milliseconds of an event is clearly given when unpacking the header. I would like to determine how far apart events are when they are within the same millisecond.

Thanks,

Will
