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 signal is set to
input (High-Z) 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.
