[time-nuts] LTE Lite installation comments

[Bob Camp]

Hi

You can check part of the performance of the buffers with your ‘scope. Trigger on the input and look at the output. Depending on what sort of scope you have, you might get sub ns.

Of course you also could simply trust that logic gates have pretty stable delay specs.
