On the RS232EEG side the uP samples 6 input channel voltages and sends
them via RS232 to the PC in a time interval of 1/256 Hz or 3.906 ms.

Because the AD-channles are not equipped with sample and hold but
instead are time-multiplexed there is a small delay that increases with the
channel number but never exceeds 3.9 ms. This channel number dependant
delay could be compensated by software on the PC-side with an interpolation.

After this compensation each channel will have the same constant delay of e.g. 5 ms.

I think this should be ok for evoked potential measurements, especially if you
record the stimulus on one of the spare channels or one of the 4 digital channles
provided by the RS232EEG.

What OS are you using ? (I assume WIN9X ? )
