Note: The marker is generated for eight update clocks and the placement
resolution of the marker is ±4 samples.
If you want a marker at an offset of zero from the start of the waveform
buffer, the marker will be eight samples long beginning with the first
sample. A marker at an offset of seven from the start of the waveform
buffer also will be eight samples long beginning with the first sample,
as shown in Table 4-1. A marker at an offset of eight will be generated
at positions 8–15.
Figure 4-16 shows an analog waveform being generated at one
connector and a marker being generated at another I/O connector.
Point A shows a marker generated for requested positions 0–7, and
point B shows requested positions of 8–15.
