I/O Delays
Every signal path through a TDT system carries a small, fixed delay. Part of that delay comes from the software processing chain and part of it comes from the analog and digital I/O of the hardware itself. Most experiments never need to account for these delays, but they matter for processing paths that include many gizmos or components, for custom user gizmos, and anywhere timing is critical.
Where the Delays Come From
Hardware delays are a property of the device, so the Device Delays tables apply no matter which software you use to build your processing chain.
Synchronizing Processing
When synchronized processing is required, outputs or inputs can be synchronized using delay components provided in RPvdsEx. See Delay Functions in the Component Reference section of the RPvdsEx Manual for more information.
Synapse users can also synchronize outputs or inputs with User Gizmos. See Creating User Gizmos in the Synapse Manual.
