21.1.3 Time Base

The SMTxTMR is the 24-bit counter/timer used for measurement in each of the modes of the SMT. It can be reset to 0x000000 by setting the RST bit of the SMTxSTAT register. It can be written to and read by software. It is not guarded for atomic access, therefore reads and writes to the SMTxTMR may be made when the GO = 0.

The counter can be prevented from a rollover using the STP bit in the SMTxCON0 register. When STP = 1, SMTxTMR will remain equal to SMTxPR. When STP = 0, SMTxTMR resets to 0x000000.
