Tick Timer 1 Control Register

EN

When this bit is high, the counter increments. When this
bit is low, the counter does not increment.

COC

When this bit is high, the counter is reset to 0 when it
compares with the compare register. When this bit is low,
the counter is not reset.

COVF

The overflow counter is cleared when a 1 is written to this
bit.

OVF

These bits are the output of the overflow counter. The
overflow counter is incremented each time the tick timer
sends an interrupt to the local bus interrupter. The
overflow counter can be cleared by writing a 1 to the
COVF bit.

Prescaler Counter

The VMEchip2 has a 32-bit prescaler that provides the clocks required by
the various timers in the chip. Access to the prescaler is provided for test
purposes. The counter is described here because it may be useful in other
applications. The lower 8 bits of the prescaler counter increment to $FF at
the local bus clock rate and then they are loaded from the prescaler adjust
register. When the load occurs, the upper 24 bits are incremented. When
the prescaler adjust register is correctly programmed, the lower 8 bits
increment at the local bus clock rate and the upper 24 bits increment every
microsecond. The counter may be read at any time.
