18.2.5 Timer Capture Registers (TCR1 –TCR4)
Each timer capture register (TCR1–TCR4), shown in Figure18-7, is used to latch the value of the counter
according to TMRx[CE].
18.2.6 Timer Counters (TCN1–TCN4)
Each timer counter register (TCN1–TCN4), shown in Figure 18-8, is an up-counter. A read cycle to TCNx
yields the current value of the timer but does not affect the counting operation. A write cycle to TCNx sets
the register to the written value, thus causing its corresponding prescaler, TMRx[PS], to be reset.
Note that the counter registers may not be updated correctly if a write is made while the timer is not
running. Use TRRx to define the preferred count value.
18.2.7 Timer Event Registers (TER1– TER4)
Each timer event register (TERx), shown in Figure18-9, reports events recogniz ed by the timers. When
an output reference event is recognized, the timer sets TERx[REF] regardless of the corresponding
TMRx[ORI]. The capture event is set only if it is enabled by TMRx[CE]. TER1–TER4 can be read at any
time.
