Following is an example of clock-to-output propagation delays in the data sheet report:

Clock ck1_i to Pad
------------		---+----------	+
		clk (edge)
Destination Pad to PAD
-------------		--+----------	+
out1_o		16.691(R)
-------------		--+----------	+
Clock to Setup on destination clock ck2_i
----- -----+-------		+--------	+	--------+--------	+
	Src/Dest Src/Dest Src/Dest Src/Dest
Source ClockRise/RiseFall/RiseRise/FallFall/Fall
-----------	+-------	+--------	+	--------+--------	+
ck2_i	12.647
ck1_i	10.241
-- --------+-------		+--------	+	--------+--------	+

The maximum propagation delay from each device input to each device output is reported if a combinational path exists between the device input and output. When two or more paths exist between a device input and output, the worst-case propagation delay is reported. One worst-case propagation delay is reported for every input and output combination in the design.

Following are examples of input-to-output propagation delays:

Pad to Pad
