6.5.2 Start timing of counter 
Timer count register mn (TCRmn) becomes enabled to operation by setting of TSmn bit of timer channel start register 
m (TSm). 
Operations from count operation enabled state to timer count Register mn (TCRmn) count start is shown in Table 6-6. 
Table 6-6. Operations from Count Operation Enabled State to Timer count Register mn (TCRmn) Count Start 
Timer operation mode  Operation when TSmn = 1 is set 
•  Interval timer mode 
No operation is carried out from start trigger detection (TSmn=1) until count clock 
generation. 
The first count clock loads the value of the TDRmn register to the TCRmn 
register and the subsequent count clock performs count down operation (see 
6.5.3 (1) Operation of interval timer mode). 
• Event counter mode 
Writing 1 to the TSmn bit loads the value of the TDRmn register to the TCRmn 
register. 
If detect edge of TImn input. The subsequent count clock performs count down 
operation (see 6.5.3 (2) Operation of event counter mode). 
• Capture mode 
No operation is carried out from start trigger detection (TSmn = 1) until count 
clock generation. 
The first count clock loads 0000H to the TCRmn register and the subsequent 
count clock performs count up operation (see 6.5.3 (3) Operation of capture 
mode (input pulse interval measurement)). 
• One-count mode 
The waiting-for-start-trigger state is entered by writing 1 to the TSmn bit while the 
timer is stopped (TEmn = 0). 
No operation is carried out from start trigger detection until count clock 
generation. 
The first count clock loads the value of the TDRmn register to the TCRmn 
register and the subsequent count clock performs count down operation (see 
6.5.3 (4) Operation of one-count mode). 
•  Capture & one-count mode 
The waiting-for-start-trigger state is entered by writing 1 to the TSmn bit while the 
timer is stopped (TEmn = 0). 
No operation is carried out from start trigger detection until count clock 
generation. 
The first count clock loads 0000H to the TCRmn register and the subsequent 
count clock performs count up operation (see 6.5.3 (5) Start timing in capture & 
one-count mode (operation at high-level width measurement)).
