I am using the System.Timers.Timer to execute a code exactly every 30ms. I am reading a value from a remote machine every 30ms, and I want to draw a curve with it.

Is the System.Timers execution precise enough from the trigger side? Or should I use something else? For example 1 ms tolerance would be OK for me (30ms, 29ms, 30ms, 31ms...)

Are you getting accurate data using timer? – Chetan Feb 13 '22 at 10:40
No not acured data, i have to draw the current curve of a CNC axis in the time diagram, that should be interpreted regarding to the curve shape. – Mustafa Levrek Feb 13 '22 at 10:47
