This system time register is a read-only register of the raw system time. It is,
therefore, not loadable and reflects the local time in the module.
• The lower 32 bits of the 64-bit system time are read in this register.
• The upper 32 bits are read in the RawSystemTime_High register.
When a user reads system time with this pair of registers, no latching of
system time occurs, which means that the system time could increment
between the reading of the lower 32 bits in this register and the upper 32 bits
in the RawSystemTime_High register. The user must account for this and deal
with possible increments between reads of the two registers in firmware.

This register contains the upper 32 bits of system time. When you want to
read or write the system time, this register typically first accesses the
RawSystemTime_Low Register. This register pair contains the raw system
timer value, and no latching of system time occurs when the lower half is
read. Time could increment between the reading of the lower 32 bits in the
RawSystemTime_Low register and the reading of this register.
