A component timing can be viewed like a chain of elements, such as dividers and multipliers between the main clock source and the device configured by the component. You can set the desired timing value using the Timing dialog (see Dialog for timing settings topic for details) or directly by specifying the value in Component Inspector (see Syntax for the timing setup in the Component Inspector topic for details). Processor Expert tries to configure individual elements in the timing chain to achieve the result and the user is informed if it was successful. After leaving the Timing dialog, the real value of the timing is shown in the third column of the component inspector.
