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

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
time to the next sample clock. With MagniVu asynchronous sampling, this represents 500 ps or less. With synchronous sampling, this represents the timetothe
next master clock generated by the setup of the clocking state machine, the system-under-test supplied clocks, and the qualification data.

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 corresponding 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.

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
used to drive any combination of destinations.
