NOTE:
Changing Capture Inputs
Changing capture inputs while in capture mode may cause unintended capture events. To
avoid this scenario, capture inputs should only be changed when capture mode is disabled
(CM = {0} or CAP = 0).
Overflow logic is provided in each capture/compare register to indicate if a second capture was performed
before the value from the first capture was read. Bit COV is set when this occurs as shown in
. COV must be reset with software.
