actions as starting and stopping the counter, generating interrupts,
saving the counter contents, and so on.
As an output, the GPCTR1_GATE signal monitors the actual gate
signal connected to general-purpose counter 1. This is true even if the
gate is being externally generated by another PFI. This output is set to
tri-state at startup.
Figure 4-30 shows the timing requirements for the GPCTR1_GATE
signal.

GPCTR1_OUT Signal
This signal is available only as an output on the GPCTR1_OUT pin.
The GPCTR1_OUT signal monitors the TC board general-purpose
counter 1. You have two software-selectable output options—pulse on
TC and toggle output polarity on TC. The output polarity is software
selectable for both options. This output is set to tri-state at startup.
Figure 4-31 shows the timing requirements for the GPCTR1_OUT
signal.
