Since #Kicad has a precise notion of time for signal propagation, its protobuf API has a time datatype. And since kicad tends to avoid floating point numbers, that time is signed 64 bit ATTOseconds. 2^63 attoseconds happens to be a little over 9 seconds. https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/blob/master/api/proto/common/types/base_types.proto?ref_type=heads#L231

    @cd0@mastodon.social Which is enough to go back and forth all across a maximally sized PDF (a few hundred km), but would problematic when filling such a PDF with delay lines.
