Why the PCL-818 frequency read funciton is not stable when work with 32-bit DLL drivers?
Solution:
The frequency reading is obtained by reading the counter value change, then divided by a time period with system timer. Because Windows 95/NT is a multitasking system, it's very difficult to read the counter difference at presice time interval, so the reading will be stable only when time period is long.
