R Rate Factor:
The R scale factor can be used for scaling of the output frequency. The output frequency is
divided by the R scale value. Typically a factor of two will be used. The result is the rate data value
being 1/2 of the actual value. R factors must be positive numbers.
Rate Output Value = Actual Rate Value / R Factor

Counter Enable, Bit 16
Set bit 16 to 1 to enable the counter to continue to count up or down from its present value. Use
a setting of 0 to stop the counter. Enabling the counter using bit 16 does not override the external
counter enable input. Both bit 16 of the control word register and the input must be enabled for the
counter to continue counting. If either is disabled, the counter will hold its last value and stop
counting.
