6.11 Signal propagation times within the ClipX and over the
ClipX bus
The various modules in the ClipX are combined into a number of groups, each
with fixed cycle times. This makes it easier to calculate the total propagation
time of a signal. The following diagrams indicate the propagation times of the
various groups as well as any potential additions you might need to allow for the
hardware of inputs/outputs. To calculate the maximum propagation time of sig-
nals running through more than one group, such as min/max values obtained
from calculated channels, simply add together the propagation times of the
respective groups.
Pay attention to the sequencing of the analysis within a group. If source signals
are formed only later in the group, this will double the propagation time until the
result is available.

1) Filter off: 0 s; Bessel filter: 0.43/fg; Butterworth filter: 0.66/fg; The result is time in seconds for an
output signal of 50% of the full scale value with a jump at the input.

These signals can also use other sources. The phase delays of the source signals must then be
added.
3)
If the analog output is to output a value from this group, you must add on 52 μs. If you are using
a source from a different group, you must add the phase delay of the source signal to the 52 μs.
