Single Two-Signal Edge-Separation Measurement
Buffered Two-Signal Edge-Separation Measurement
Buffered and single two-signal edge-separation measurements are similar,
but buffered measurement measures multiple intervals.
The counter counts the number of rising (or falling) edges on the Source
input occurring between an active edge of the Gate signal and an active
edge of the Aux signal. The counter then stores the count in a hardware save
register. On the next active edge of the Gate signal, the counter begins
another measurement. A DMA controller transfers the stored values to host
memory.
Figure 7-21 shows an example of a buffered two-signal edge-separation
measurement.
