Hi Gary. Just to let you know why the resolution is required, I lost third
place at Nationals by .001. That two days competition added together. You
need to go to the thousandth. And just for the record David Fauth, I'm
still not bitter. :-p
I know nothing about electronics, but instead of replying on the trigger
head to transmit the signal in real time and be limited by the physics of
wireless transmitting, why not have the trigger record the time on a RAM
chip or something built into the timer head and then transmit the recorded
signal at the more leasurly wireless pace? (I am assuming that the rate of
wireless transmitting is limiting the replution.) Would result in but a
couple micro-seconds delay and you could record the actual time in whatever
resolution you want. Just a dumb suggestion from someone who doesn't really
know what he's talking about.
