Are you sure this is the correct solution? Aren't you introducing
rounding errors?

The hardware will count to (on + off) clock ticks, so the right way
to convert that is to add the two together and then convert to
nanoseconds, which may result in a single rounding error. If you
convert each individually to nanoseconds, then you can end up with
two sets of rounding errors.
