Hi,
I'm looking to implement some VI's using the 4-wire handshaking protocol as part of a current project. These need to operate inside a 120MHz loop in line with a bunch of pre-existing 4-wire VIs, so I assume some pipelining will be required. I can imagine maybe placing flip-flops (feed-forwards) at both the input and output to my VI, so as not to 'steal' propagation delay from the surrounding VIs in the sequence, but if these also do the same it is a bit wasteful.
Is there any design convention, such as 'always place the flip flops at the input' I should be following, or better yet some templates? I have done some searching but can't find an example.
