A High BU Count During Monitoring

[lakece]

If you have a high BU count during monitoring, does that affect the accuracy of the timing bands in the data I'm collecting?

That is a fair question and the reasoning is correct. If you have a lot of BUs running then do consume a lot of CPU time and that may affect the accuracy of individual time values and thus may affect the timing bands you see in your data.

However, what we have found is that in most cases you will run out of RAM before you run out of CPU, so the effect on the timing logic is minimal. (eValid's timer logic reads direct values from memory and doesn't involve any I/O.)

The bottom line is, no, it won't affect the accuracty of the timing bands.
