ns since last call should measure timing with higher fidelity than the dt #37

Currently we return this value by multiplying dt by the timing source period in ns. I don't think this gives us any information over the late count. Instead we should use the tick count VIs and actually measure the loop execution time.

it tells you how late we were without having to waste time on getting the true dt. But I suppose we should try to give one level of resolution higher than their clock source.
