Each alarm register corresponds to the relevant counter as shown below.
If the AR bit (D7) of each alarm is set to “1,” counters will be compared with alarm registers. This comparison
is performed only for alarm registers with the AR bit (D7) set to “1” and an alarm interrupt is generated only at
correct correspondence.
