If you wish to use the shared mutex to ensure records are not altered while you are accessing them, you should open your side of the shared memory interface with read-write permission. Be aware that while your program has the mutex lock, it can halt `nqptp`, so keep any activity while you have the lock very short and very simple, e.g. copying it to local memory.
The `source_time` and `local_to_source_time_offset` values are averaged over up to 480 samples. Since samples should be received at the rate of eight per second,
-the values are averaged should be dropped the previous minute.
