When Timer 2 is in the baud rate generator mode, one should not try
to read or write TH2 and TL2. As a baud rate generator, Timer 2 is
incremented every state time (osc/2) or asynchronously from pin T2;
under these conditions, a read or write of TH2 or TL2 may not be
accurate. The RCAP2 registers may be read, but should not be
written to, because a write might overlap a reload and cause write
and/or reload errors. The timer should be turned off (clear TR2)
before accessing the Timer 2 or RCAP2 registers.
Table 5 shows commonly used baud rates and how they can be
obtained from Timer 2.
Summary Of Baud Rate Equations
Timer 2 is in baud rate generating mode. If Timer 2 is being clocked
through pin T2(P1.0) the baud rate is:
Baud Rate +
Timer 2 Overflow Rate

If Timer 2 is being clocked internally , the baud rate is:
Baud Rate +

OSC
[32 [65536 * (RCAP2H, RCAP2L)]]
Where f
OSC
= Oscillator Frequency
To obtain the reload value for RCAP2H and RCAP2L, the above
equation can be rewritten as:
RCAP2H, RCAP2L + 65536 *

Timer/Counter 2 Set-up
Except for the baud rate generator mode, the values given for
T2CON do not include the setting of the TR2 bit. Therefore, bit TR2
must be set, separately, to turn the timer on. See Table 6 for set-up
of Timer 2 as a timer. Also see Table 7 for set-up of Timer 2 as a
counter.

NOTES:
1. Capture/reload occurs only on timer/counter overflow.
2. Capture/reload occurs on timer/counter overflow and a 1-to-0 transition on T2EX (P1.1) pin except when Timer 2 is used in the baud rate
generator mode.
