I am new to TeX and I am trying to create a document which has regular text, paragraphs etc and also a timing diagram somewhere in between. I am using the TikZ timing package.

Here is an example of what I am trying to do.

Create a section. Write some text. Add a timing diagram. End section and on to the next section.

Here is the code sample I tried.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz-timing}[2009/12/09]
\usepackage[active,tightpage]{preview}
\PreviewEnvironment{tikzpicture}
\setlength{\PreviewBorder}{1mm}
\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}
%
% Defining foreground (fg) and background (bg) colors
\definecolor{bgblue}{rgb}{0.41961,0.80784,0.80784}%
\definecolor{bgred}{rgb}{1,0.61569,0.61569}%
\definecolor{fgblue}{rgb}{0,0,0.6}%
\definecolor{fgred}{rgb}{0.6,0,0}%
%


\begin{section} 
1.  Timing diagram of SR Flip Flop
    Here is the timing diagram of SR flip flop.  


\begin{tikztimingtable}[
    timing/slope=0,         % no slope
    timing/coldist=2pt,     % column distance
    xscale=2.05,yscale=1.1, % scale diagrams
    semithick               % set line width
  ]
  \scriptsize clock     & 7{C}                              \\
  S                     & [fgblue] .75L h 2.25L H LLl       \\
  R                     & [fgblue]  1.8L .8H 2.2L 1.4H 0.8L \\
  Q                     &          L .8H 1.7L 1.5H LL       \\
  $\overline{\mbox{Q}}$ &          H .8L 1.7H 1.5L HH       \\
  Q                     & [fgred]  HLHHHLL                  \\
  $\overline{\mbox{Q}}$ & [fgred]  LHLLLHH                  \\
\extracode
 \makeatletter
 \begin{pgfonlayer}{background}
  % Draw shaded backgrounds
  \shade [right color=bgblue,left color=white]
     (7,-8.45) rectangle (-2,-4.6);
  \shade [right color=bgred,left color=white]
     (7,-12.8) rectangle (-2,-8.6);
  % Add background grid lines
  \begin{scope}[gray,semitransparent,semithick]
    \horlines{}
    \foreach \x in {1,...,6}
      \draw (\x,1) -- (\x,-12.8);
    % similar: \vertlines{1,...,6}
  \end{scope}
  % Add labels
  \node [anchor=south east,inner sep=0pt]
    at (7,-8.45) {\tiny clocked};
  \node [anchor=south east,inner sep=0pt,fgred]
    at (7,-12.8) {\tiny positive edge triggered};
 \end{pgfonlayer}
\end{tikztimingtable}%
%
\end{section} 
\end{document}

I am expecting the pdf to show the text first and then the timing diagram, but only the timing diagram is being generated.

Can somebody please help me?

Thanks

Comment out 

\usepackage[active,tightpage]{preview}
\PreviewEnvironment{tikzpicture}
\setlength{\PreviewBorder}{1mm}

and all should be fine. The active option previews what you have typeset in your tikzpicture environment in this case. Also, consider updating your tikz-timing. AFAIK, the latest version is Version v0.7d – 2011/01/09. Here is the output when the above lines are commented out.
