The following paragraphs apply to both encoders and counters.
Preset Value
Each of the 4 counters has one preset value associated with it. In the
encoder or counter modes, the preset value represents a reference
point (or count) from which the module begins counting. The
module can count either up or down from the preset value. Preset
values are loaded into the count registers through the preset count
bits. (Refer to word 1, bits 8-11 of the block transfer write
initialization block in chapter 5.) Preset values can range from 0 to
999,999 binary or BCD.
