Post: The different time values would be the sample time needed for a single sample of the ADC at each bit rate. So for example at 12 bits the ADC can take 240 samples per second so 1 second is divided by 240 to get the time needed for a single sample. I expect what was happening is a process on the Raspberry Pi was holding up the CPU for slightly longer than the ADC library was allowing for a timeout period which caused it to throw an exception. By increasing the timeout period from 5x the single sample time to 10x it is allowing enough time for Linux to carry out any processes that are being run alongside the python script.
