What is the time delay between when a gate changes state and when counting starts/stops?

[SSteve]

We're using a PCI-6602. When we use gated counting what is the time delay between when a gate changes state and when counting starts/stops?

Hi SSteve,

In the PCI-660x user manual (here) on page 3-13 it states that the counters gate can react to signals with minimum pulse width of 5ns.  Given that information the propagation delay is probably also on the order of ns. Are you experiencing a problem with this delay?

Thanks for the reply, Mike. We are getting this system designed and put together and I was asked for the gating specifications. We aren't at the point yet where we'd be experiencing problems. I'll let them know it's on the order of ns and see if that's sufficient.
