Operation Theory
In stop mode III, after a software stop command is given, the waveform
generation won’t stop until the performed number of waveforms is a mul-
tiple of IC_Counter. See figure 30 for an example, since IC_Counter is set
to 3, the total generated waveforms must be a multiple of 3 (waveforms = 6
in this example), and the total DA update counts must be a multiple of 12
(UC_Counter * IC_Counter). You can compare these three figures for their
differences.
