Yes, that is not that much. But I thought a USB communication is faster than serial? Do you use low or full speed? I suppose not high speed as there is no need for that? Is it a HID device? Or a USB2Serial one? What is the baud rate for serial (and if it is a USB2Serial)? What type of transfer method used if it is a HID one? (Sorry I am just curious, please ignore these questions as you wish :-) ) Tamas On 12/7/06, Olin Lathrop wrote: > > > I'll rerun the test cases when I get back to my office this afternoon > > and report the new times. > > Here are the newly measured programming speeds for 16F630 after fixing the > programming times for program memory and EEPROM.
