Pin to Internal Signal Delays
Input timing is the timing specification for importing a signal to an internal
bus on the M Series device. Table B-26 shows the input timing for the
counters on all input terminals. Signals refer to the signal at the I/O
connector of the device, and signals appended with _i refer to the signal
internal to the device after the input buffer.

The delay ranges given for PFI and RTSI represent the fastest and slowest terminal routing within the trigger group for a
given condition (maximum or minimum timing). This difference can be useful when two external signals will be used
together and the relative timing between the signals is important.
