Function
The block delays a rising edge by the time PT.
A rising edge at the input IN results in a rising edge at the output Q after the time
PT has elapsed. Q remains set until the input IN changes to 0.
If the input IN changes to 0 before PT has elapsed, Q remains at 0.
The output ET indicates the time that has elapsed since the last rising edge at the
input IN, but only up to the value of the input PT. ET is reset if the input IN changes
to 0.
If PT < 0, the outputs Q and ET are reset.
