Hah, damn. We live in different worlds - in mine, 100K samples/sec is blazingly fast!

I'm currently working on a PLC program, replacing the PLC's basic cyclic input sampling (max 2K samples/sec) with a harder-to-use mechanism that lets you access the raw data off its 12-bit ADC at 10K samples/sec, which we consider unusually speedy.

Yeah, it's all a matter of perspective.

We have another project that measures levels in water tanks. A sample rate of 1 sample per minute is plenty.
