Hi Stefan,

so, if I undersztand you corectly, the software AP on the computer does not 
delay anything although it needs processing time?

This looks strange for me, as I would think, the AP on the computer would also 
need some processing time for recognition, correction and routing to the host.

Or am I wrong?

Best
