The bus carrying IQ data to the 9862 TX runs at 64 MHz, so it is 32 MS/s 
for each.

Thanks for the reply.
  
  I see what you are saying about the bus. It means that the pulse is  longer 
instead of shorter, which makes more sense. Going with this  though, I have 
done tests with the new numbers and I still get a longer  pulse than expected. 
I thought the problem might have been a delay from  the cic shifter or the DAC, 
but even those should only have added a few  microseconds, not over 100 
microseconds. 
  
 From the logic  analyser , it seems that the counter I use for advancing the 
read  pointer for the RAM might be running slow, though the Quartus simulator  
shows it running at the right speed. Would such a problem stem from  using an 
interp rate like 125 within the FPGA? Has anyone who has done  USRP FPGA builds 
that use counters noticed a similar variance?
