•
Scenario #2 – The input turns ON but turns OFF before 2 ms (length
of the input filter setting) elapses. In this case, the module continues to
scan the input every millisecond. At some point, less than 2 ms later, the
input turns ON again and remains for 1 to 2 ms, the third ON sampled
1 ms interval (in this case at 6 ms). In this case, the module considers
the transition valid and sends the data timestamped at the original
transition to the controller.
•
Scenario #3 – The input turns ON but turns OFF before 2 ms (length
of the input filter setting) elapses. In this case, the module continues to
scan the input every millisecond until the 1 ms counter decrements to
zero. The input never remains ON for at least 2 consecutive ms
intervals, the third ON sampled 1 ms interval. In this case, the module
considers the transition invalid and drops the data timestamped at the
original transition.

Time in milliseconds
Input turns ON and remains ON for
1…2 ms.
The module sends the timestamp recorded
at the original transition point to the
controller.
Input turns OFF before 2 ms have elapsed.

Input turns OFF before
2 ms have elapsed.
In none of these time periods is the input
ON for at least 2 consecutive ms intervals.
After 7 ms, the module drops the data
recorded at the original transition. If an RPI
occurs during this 7 ms, the module sends
the controller its current valid input data; the
data that’s sent does not include data from
the transition describes in this graphic
because the timestamp has not been
validated.
The next time the input turns ON, the
module records the transition as
timestamp #1, with the timestamp of the
new input transition.
