When using 2 USB sticks (AP2 based)on the same PC with 2 instances of ANT ware there is 1 message delay betwwen the transmitted message (as appear in ANTware window #1) and the received one (ANTware window #2)

This can be easily seen in low (1Hz) message rate?

Is it only ANTware display delay or is there a real delay in message processing on the receiver side (e.g. message processed only after next message received?)

Thanks

The application (host)sends the broadcast message to ANT (and displays it on screen) after processing an EVENT_TX, and this message gets transmitted over the air until the next channel period. This is why you will see an offset of one message between transmitter and receiver.
