N / sample rate × 1,000 gives the duration of one buffer. Measure device round-trip latency for the real result; these figures do not guarantee that a particular buffer is stable.

An estimate using two buffers plus the time you enter. This does not measure device latency. Stability, safety buffers, and driver paths need testing; block widths in this diagram do not represent duration.

How to read this experiment

It does not measure an interface, guarantee stable operation at 64 samples, or read devices without permission.
