OK.  Yes, a .1 second resolution HIL module would be a go...
and yes that is more useful than systems out of sync by half a second...

Any chance we have of using the most deterministic delays coming from the hardware
we should take it is all I meant.

What time accuracy do you call a useful timesync on our current platforms?
