CHAPTER 8 8/16-BIT CAPTURE TIMER/COUNTER

Detection of the number of events

In the external clock mode, counter clear can be prohibited by the compare match counter clear mask bit (TCMSK) of the capture control register (TCCR) when a match is detected. Setting the compare match counter clear mask bit to "1" enables the event count detection function to be used. In this case, a compare match does not cause data to be re-loaded to the compare latch. To update the compare latch value, stop and restart the timer.

Figure 8.7-2shows counter function operation in the external clock mode in which TCMSK is used.
