Status Reporting
Operation Status Register Group
The Operation Status Register Group monitors conditions which are part
of the Counter's normal operation and has a complete set of registers that
consist of the following:
•
a condition register
•
a positive transition filter register (PTR)
•
a negative transition filter register (NTR)
•
an event register
•
an event enable register
Table 3-7 lists the Operation Status Register bits and briefly describes
each bit. Figure 3-13 shows the model that these register groups follow.
