4.6.2 General Purpose Timer/Counter
The USB-1900 Series is equipped with two general purpose timer/
counter sets featuring:
X Count up/down controllable by hardware or software
X Programmable counter clock source (internal clock up to 80
MHz, external clock up to 10 MHz)
X Programmable gate selection (hardware or software con-
trol)
X Programmable input and output signal polarities (high active
or low active)
X Initial Count loaded from a software application
X Current count value readable by software without affecting
circuit operation.

4.7 Basic Timer/Counter Function
Each timer/counter has three inputs that can be controlled via
hardware or software. They are clock input (GPTC_CLK), gate
input (GPTC_GATE), and up/down control input (GPTC_UD). The
GPTC_CLK input provides a clock source input to the timer/coun-
ter. Active edges on the GPTC_CLK input increment or decrement
the counter. The GPTC_UD input directs the counter to count up
