/*
  This function allows you to calculate how much of your SynqNet cycle 
  you are actually using. The Foreground Cycle is reading values from 
  all the nodes, where the TX (transmit) is sending data to nodes, and 
  commanding motion. The larger the TX Start means that the Transmiting 
  is happening later in the SynqNet Cycle (increasing latency between 
  reading values, and interpreting them). However it is crucial that 
  the TX Cycle Start NEVER is lower than the Foreground Cycle legnth. 
  Always leave a Buffer.
