8.7.1 Example 1 - Absolute Time-Stamp Operation Rising Edge Trigger
shows an example of continuous capture operation (Mod4 counter wraps around). In this
figure, TSCTR counts-up without resetting and capture events are qualified on the rising edge only, this
gives period (and frequency) information.
On an event, the TSCTR contents (time-stamp) is first captured, then Mod4 counter is incremented to the
next state. When the TSCTR reaches FFFFFFFF (maximum value), it wraps around to 00000000 (not
shown in
), if this occurs, the CTROVF (counter overflow) flag is set, and an interrupt (if
enabled) occurs, CTROVF (counter overflow) Flag is set, and an Interrupt (if enabled) occurs. Captured
Time-stamps are valid at the point indicated by the diagram (after the 4th event), hence event CEVT4 can
conveniently be used to trigger an interrupt and the CPU can read data from the CAPx registers.
