Capture Sequence For Delta Mode Time-Stamp And Rising Edge Detect - Texas Instruments Concerto F28M36 Series Technical Reference Manual

8.7.3 Example 3 - Time Difference (Delta) Operation Rising Edge Trigger
This example Figure 8-25
pulse train waveforms. Here Continuous Capture mode (TSCTR counts-up without resetting, and Mod4
counter wraps around) is used. In Delta-time mode, TSCTR is Reset back to Zero on every valid event.
Here Capture events are qualified as Rising edge only. On an event, TSCTR contents (Time-Stamp) is
captured first, and then TSCTR is reset to Zero. The Mod4 counter then increments to the next state. If
TSCTR reaches FFFFFFFF (Max value), before the next event, it wraps around to 00000000 and
continues, a CNTOVF (counter overflow) Flag is set, and an Interrupt (if enabled) occurs. The advantage
of Delta-time Mode is that the CAPx contents directly give timing data without the need for CPU
calculations, that is, Period1 = T
good trigger point to read the timing data, T
