Trouble understanding timed tasks in Periodic vi

[Greg McKaskle]

The point of their paper is correct. Wait 10ms will guarantee that the loop period will be 10ms minimum. If enough other stuff is going on, it will accumulate extra time. The ms multiple version will have an initial wait that aligns to the clock phase and will then stay in phase and skip with large overages. The timed loop has many options and has the least jitter by far.

But on the topic, the language doesn't serialize them, and most users don't either.
