DelayCalculator (spiceJ: Real-Time Functionality 0.0.8 API)

```
public class DelayCalculator
extends Object
```
A utility class allowing easy calculation of parameters required for creating a DelayedInputStream with real-time delay. Two parameters are necessary for creating a delayed stream: The tick interval in nanoseconds, and the delay in ticks. A low interval has the advantage of a more precise delay, but the disadvantage of higher CPU load. This class uses the notion of an epsilon value to specify the allowed error in the result delay. The error results from a higher tick interval. The default epsilon value is DEFAULT_EPSILON. Epsilon must be between 0 and 1, exclusively. The theoretical value of 0 means no tolerated error at all, and the value of 1 means that an error of 100% is permitted. A value of 0.01 means a permitted error of 1%, and so on. Note that the actual error may be (much) higher than epsilon, since binding ticks to real time is a real-time application and as such prone to the effects of preemptive computing. However, the theoretical (optimal) error will not exceed epsilon (except for cases where the error is due to integer rounding, this applies to very low delay values).
