11.10.2 TIM Counter Registers
The two read-only TIM counter registers contain the high and low bytes 
of the value in the TIM counter. Reading the high byte (TCNTH) latches 
the contents of the low byte (TCNTL) into a buffer. Subsequent reads of 
TCNTH do not affect the latched TCNTL value until TCNTL is read. 
Reset clears the TIM counter registers. Setting the TIM reset bit (TRST) 
also clears the TIM counter registers.
NOTE: If you read TCNTH during a break interrupt, be sure to unlatch TCNTL 
by reading TCNTL before exiting the break interrupt. Otherwise, TCNTL 
retains the value latched during the break.
