Data points

I'm having a bit of an issue. I have a cycle counter that counts the TTL of a function generator and I'm collecting 100 data points per "cycle" My cycle count is being saved to the data file in the first column, along with 4 analog channels. My issue is: My cycle count isn't always exactly 100 per cycle in the data file. It's close but not exact. Is this a timing issue or something in my code?

Hi glskinner, 

 

It sounds like it is probably just slight inaccuracies in the clock on you device. What device are you using? How far off is the count? If we look through the specifications sheet of the device we should be able to determine if the discrepancies you are seeing are within spec.
