19.3.1 QEI x Control Register

Note:
  1. When CCMx = 10 or CCMx = 11, all of the QEI counters operate as timers and the PIMOD[2:0] bits are ignored.
  2. When CCMx = 00, and QEAx and QEBx values match the Index Match Value (IMV), the POSxCNT registers are reset.
  3. The selected clock rate should be at least twice the expected maximum quadrature count rate.
  4. The index match value applies to the A&B inputs after the SWAP, and polarity bits have been applied.
  5. The QCAPEN and HCAPEN bits must be cleared during PIMODx Modes two through seven to ensure proper functionality.
