In the Waveform window, triggers are always marked immediately except when delayed to the first sample. In the Listing window, triggers are always
marked on the next sample period following their occurrence.

Clk represents the time to the next master clock at the destination logic analyzer module. With asynchronous clocking this represents the delta time to the next
sample clock. With synchronous sampling this represents the time to the next master clock generated by the setup of the clocking state machine and the
supplied SUT clocks and qualification data.

Signals 1 and 2 (ECLTRG0, 1) are limited to a broadcast mode where only one source can drive the signal node at any one time. The signal source can be

SMPL represents the time from the event to the next valid data sample at the probe tip of the LA module. With asynchronous sampling, this represents the delta

Skid is commonly referred to as the system level system trigger and signaling output latency. This is the absolute time from when the event first appears at the
input probe tips of a module to when the corresp onding event that it generates appears at the system trigger or external signal outputs.

All signal output latencies are validated to the rising edge of an active (true) high output.
