Yes.  (Although as an engineer I'm obliged to point out to you that 
without knowing the details of your requirements, and seeing your
actual code, I'm not providing advice which takes into account
all the special nuances of your application and you shouldn't rely
on my confirmation in applications involving life safety, or where
mistakes could cause material loss or affect the public health, 
blah blah blah.  ;-)  )
