i guess the simplest way is like this, ie. don't flip the 15 millisecs before getting your time result, 20 is the margin of error.

Open in online IDE

Graphics3D 640,480,0,2

iniTime=MilliSecs()

While Not KeyHit(1)

 tempTime=MilliSecs()-iniTime
 If MilliSecs()>=iniTime+1000 ;1 second test
  If once=0
   once=1
   Latency#=(MilliSecs()-iniTime)/1000.0
   testTime=MilliSecs()-iniTime
   testFloat#=1000/1000.0
  EndIf
 EndIf

 Cls
 Text 0,0,"Latency="+Latency+" testFloat="+testFloat
 Text 0,12,"testTime="+testTime+" iniTime="+iniTime+" tempTime="+tempTime

 If MilliSecs()>=iniTime+1000-15 And MilliSecs()<=iniTime+1000+5
 Else
  Flip
 EndIf
