49.4.2 TSI measurement result
The capacitance measurement result is defined by the number of TSI reference oscillator
periods during the sample time and is stored in the TSICHnCNT register.

49.4.3 Enable TSI module
The TSI module can be fully functional in run, wait and low power modes. The
TSI_GENCS[TSIEN] bit must be set to enable the TSI module in run and wait mode.
When TSI_GENCS[STPE] bit is set, it allows the TSI module to work in low power
mode.
49.4.4 Software and hardware trigger
The TSI module allows a software or hardware trigger to start a scan. When a software
trigger is applied ( TSI_GENCS[STM] bit clear), the TSI_GENCS[SWTS] bit must be
written "1" to start the scan electrode channel that is identified by TSI_DATA[TSICH].
When a hardware trigger is applied ( TSI_GENCS[STM] bit set), the TSI will not start
scanning until the hardware trigger arrives. The hardware trigger is different depending
on the MCU configuration. Generally, it could be an event that RTC overflows. See chip
configuration section for details.
