Why do I see detections with identical millisecond timestamps in my MiniMon data files?
The redundant milliseconds happen because the timestamps are assigned by MiniMon, not by the transceiver. Because readers send variable length messages, MiniMon cannot optimize serial I/O on the message length. Instead, it has to rely on hardware interrupts to get data from the serial ports, which are at the mercy of a lot of system related tasks that dictate when they can fire. Therefore MiniMon can process a batch of several tag records in microseconds and assign them all the same millisecond timestamp.
