Curious to know where the 1billion ns/s came from. No idea how I would have determined to use that in the fft code.

It's just a conversion factor to make the units come out nicely. He could have easily done T = 1/f to give the refresh interval in seconds, but with such a short duration, it helps to convert it to nanoseconds (1e9 ns = 1 s).
Oh, I see now. Thanks a lot. Makes sense. 1bil ns/1s
