Figure 12-175 shows an example of continuous capture operation (Mod4 counter wraps around). In this figure, TSCTR counts-up without resetting and capture events are qualified on the rising edge only, this gives period (and frequency) information.
On an event, the TSCTR contents (time-stamp) is first captured, then Mod4 counter is incremented to the next state. When the TSCTR reaches FFFF FFFFh (maximum value), it wraps around to 0000 0000h (not shown in Figure 12-175), if this occurs, the CNTOVF_FLG (counter overflow) flag is set, and an interrupt (if enabled) occurs. Captured time-stamps are valid at the point indicated by the diagram, after the 4-th event, hence event CEVT4 can conveniently be used to trigger an interrupt and the CPU can read data from the CAPn registers.
