software application. Operation in which initial count = 0,
count-up mode is shown.

The counter calculates the pulse-width of the signal on
GPTC_GATE in terms of GPTC_CLK. Initial count can be
loaded from the software application. After software start, the
counter calculates the number of active edges on GPTC_CLK
when GPTC_GATE is in its active state.
After the completion of the pulse-width interval on
GPTC_GATE, GPTC_OUT outputs high and current count
value can be read by the software application. Operation in
which initial count = 0, count-up mode is shown.
