Propagation Delay Delta tolerance value in mils

Hello

I usually set relative propagation delay delta tolerance value in mils like “0:100mils” . One of the board I received for modification having it set in “ns” and the max length difference is 311mils , but still its shows green.

Just wanted to know “0.01ns means how much in mils ? ( I consider 140ps = 1000mils , but this doesn’t match with the constraint set in CMGR)

I referred below two document to get the value , but unable to correlate with CMGR value .

You also have a pin delay value set (actual component pin to bond die) which is being taken into account. The calculation is being made based on propagation velocity factor (In CM Analyze - Analysis Modes - Electrical).

Thanks Steve , You figure it out rightly. I missed the pin delay set in CMGR. Thanks once again
