GPCTR0_GATE Signal Timing in Edge-Detection Mode
GPCTR0_OUT Signal
This signal is available only as an output on the GPCTR0_OUT pin. The
GPCTR0_OUT signal reflects the terminal count (TC) of general-purpose
counter 0. You have two software-selectable output options—pulse on TC
and toggle output polarity on TC. The output polarity is software-selectable
for both options. This output is set to tri-state at startup. Figure 4-31 shows
the timing of the GPCTR0_OUT signal.

GPCTR0_OUT Signal Timing
GPCTR0_UP_DOWN Signal
This signal can be externally input on the DIO6 pin and is not available as
an output on the I/O connector. The general-purpose counter 0 will count
down when this pin is at a logic low and count up when it is at a logic high.
You can disable this input so that software can control the up-down
functionality and leave the DIO6 pin free for general use.
