What is a pre-delay: Something like:
_________ ______
_____/ \_________________/
^ ^

Where ^ marks the period start and then the time between period start
and the rising signal is the pre-delay?

If so, the IMHO more right approach is to keep the pre-delay until a new
setting is applied and in .get_state ignore the pre-delay. This way you
don't modify the output in .probe() which sounds right.

Best regards
Uwe
