Possible inconsistency in the run duration #60

Open lucabaldini opened 8 years ago

lucabaldini commented 8 years ago

For run 002_000015 the log file says 

Start time = 1461770183 s.
...
360361 events (44750 data blocks) acquired in 59256 seconds.

and 

time(1461770183 + 59256 )

is different from 9:58 (read on the acquisition PC at the stop run.)

I believe I understand this---we keep track of the elapsed time by essentially incrementing a counter on the timeout of the underlying pRunController QTimer, which is obviously inaccurate.

Will be fixed.
