10.3.4.3 Read-back Command
Use the read-back format of TMRCON (Figure 10-29) to latch the count and/or status of one or
more counters. Latch a counter’s status to check its programmed operating mode, count format,
and read/write selection and to determine whether the latest count written to it has been loaded.
