    A story:

    A young man was traveling from Georgia to Florida on a quick weekend trip to see someone. He drives Very fast on the way south. On the return trip, he decides to slow down a bit. While traveling across a bridge, he notices a officer of the law below on a perpendicular highway. He thinks "Ha!, someone is going to get a ticket on that other road!". Within a few minutes, he was visited by that same officer. When the traveler asked why the visit and personal attention, the officer explained that he was going 78 in a 55 and wanted it known just how wrong that was. When asked how he was able to measure the speed, he explained that the bridge was 1308 feet long and that it took 11.47 seconds to cross it. His LASCAR device helped him do the calculations.

    Hi Darrel,

    I finally got around top finishing up the Timer using the N-Bit MATH
    I posted it in this thread:
    http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=12634

    I think it's really cool...It uses 64 Bit Math throughout and can run 99 minutes with 200 nS resolution.

    Thanks for the help

    Nice job Bob!
    And nice work on the posts too.

    I got lost in the math somewhere between ...

    How fast am I? (Very Slow)
        -- AND --
    What is the muzzle velocity of my air rifle with different pellets?

    Good thing you didn't need the help.

    Thanks for the N-Bit Math workout too!
    That really helps.

    Cheers,
    DT
