More tikz-timing examples

This example shows how to make a timing diagrams with the tikz-timing package. The timing diagrams were taken from an external source and redrawn in TeX to demonstrate the necessary steps.

The external sources are:

• http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SR_FF_timing_diagram.png
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SPI_timing_diagram.svg

Timing diagrams like these can be done using the tikztimingtable environment which has the same syntax as a tabular environment with two columns. The first column holds the signal name, the second one the timing characters. See the package manual for detailed information about them.
