[etherlab-users] TestManager Sampling rate + accuracy issue

[Richard Hacker]

Hello Alex,

apologies accepted, very honourable of you!!!

We are keen to help as far as our time allows. We are also greatful if anyone 
finds a bug and reports it, even more so if a patch is included. Even requests 
are considered if they improve the project. I can understand your frustration 
(documentation is severly lacking), however, the tone must be appropriate.

Regards
Richard
