Position tracking without PTP or camera ticks

[samuelbray32]

Came across a non-ptp dataset where there was not a cammera tick channel for the run session camera. Checked with experimenter and confirmed it wasn't recorded at experiment time.

Should we have an option to use the clock time from .cameraHWSync files if dio channel isn't available, or is this too sketchy?

I would worry that the times are going to be quite a ways off, but I defer to @edeno as to how dangerous this would be.

We will have poor estimation of the delay from the MCU so agreed with Loren that it is dangerous.

Ok, that's what I thought, but wanted to check. I'll close the issue here and think/ask around if there's a way to recover timestamps for position-dependent analysis in this case
