Problem Title:
M1.5: Trce 1.5is2: WARNING:basts:157 - PERIOD TIMESPEC ...contains a mixture of pad and synchronous elements



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General description:
In trace1.5is2 sometimes you will get the warning like this:

WARNING:basts:157 - PERIOD TIMESPEC 'TS_MYCLk' has TIMEGRP
    'MYCLK' which contains a mixture of PADs and synchronous
     elements. The PADs in this group will be exempt from analysis by the
     trce application. The ability to mix PADs and synchronous elements
     in a PERIOD group will soon be obsoleted.


Solution 1:

Currently PERIOD constraint covers input pad to synchronous element and
from synchronous element to synchronous element but excludes synchronous
element to output pad. In next release input pad to synchronous element
will not be included any longer.

So the technique is to either have the offset or
have a FROM pads TO ffs constraint.
