That's empirical. I tested several times doing system suspend and resume on the
machines hooked to our lab and that was the minimum delay I could find that
still never resulted in the spurious readings.

Unfortunately the technical documentation I have access to never even mentioned
that this issue could arise, let alone what the timing constraints were, so this
had to be figured out empirically.

Thanks,
