Table B-36 shows delays for generating different clocks, described in the
Clock Routing section of Chapter 9, Digital Routing and Clock Generation,
from the onboard 80 MHz oscillator.

The times in this table are measured at the pin of the M Series device. For example, t
14
specifies the minimum period of a
signal driving a PFI, RTSI, or PXI_STAR pin when that signal is internally routed to Counter n A.
