Re: DS reliability

If your interest is in inestigating what was occurring on people's robots, then the data plot is a reasonable representation. I don't know how applicable the five hours of data is, but you are seeing some interesting patterns that it would be nice to understand. I'd suggest adding some statistics that are updated for each five minute window of data, and adding some instrumentation to the Start Communications VI to distinguish between latent packets and lost packets.

I can already tell you that some of the nondetermininism is due to how the call library nodes are configured on the diagram of Start Comms. It was decided that it wasn't worth a midseason patch to improve, but the edits are simple and safe if you'd like to try it at some point. PM me for more details.
