the behavior of other devices in the system.
•
Ctr0InternalOutput drives the CTR 0 OUT pin to trigger or control
external devices.

CTR 0 OUT Pin
When the CTR 0 OUT pin is an output, the Ctr0InternalOutput signal
drives the pin. As an input, CTR 0 OUT can drive any of the RTSI <0..6>
signals. CTR 0 OUT is set to high-impedance at startup. Figure 5-6 shows
the relationship of CTR 0 OUT and Ctr0InternalOutput.
Figure 5-6.
CTR 0 OUT and Ctr0InternalOutput
Counter 0 Up/Down Signal
You can externally input this signal on the P0.6 pin, but it is not available
as an output on the I/O connector. When you enable externally controlled
count direction, Counter 0 counts down when this pin is at a logic low and
counts up when it is at a logic high. If you are using an external signal
to control the count direction, do not use the P0.6 pin for output. If you do
not enable externally controlled count direction, the P0.6 pin is free for
general use.
