HI You very much are not *done* when you get your point at a million seconds. That’s just where you get to *start* …. Since you are talking about nearly two weeks per sample, there are a *lot* of things that could happen. If your loop needs ten samples to do much with, it will be 4 months before anything at all happens. In that period, you need to wonder if the power will stay on for the whole time …. (thunderstorms in the area at the moment …) Even if you back off to “I only need 1 ppm”, you still have a really slow process.
