Pulse Width & Delay Notes
The following notes should be reviewed to understand the full capabilities and limitations of the
pulse delays (rising edges) and widths (falling edges) on the 9250:
-Delay (rising edge) notes:
Since a T0 signal output is not present, the delay accuracy is essentially the rising edge
accuracy from channel-to-channel.
There will be some inherent delay error when all channels have their respective delay values
set to zero; although, these errors should all be well within the delay accuracy
specification. Fine delay adjustments may be used to lower the error accordingly (i.e. The
fine delays may be adjusted to line up the rising edges if higher accuracy is needed. )
-Width (falling edge) notes:
The delay has 5ps resolution while the width only has 4 ns resolution; thus, when
dynamically adjusting the delay, the width will only update in 2ns steps. This assures that the
width accuracy specification is still met.
