20.6.1 Software Gate Mode
This mode corresponds to legacy Timer2 operation. The timer increments with each clock input when ON = 1
and does not increment when ON = 0
. When the TMRx count equals the PRx period count the timer resets on the next clock and continues counting from 0. Operation with the ON bit software controlled is illustrated in Figure 20-3. With PRx = 5, the counter advances until TMRx = 5, and goes to zero with the next clock.
