Mode 7: Single-Triggered Continuous Pulse Generation

This mode is similar to Mode 5 except that the counter generates contin-
uous periodic pulses with programmable pulse interval and pulse-width
following the first active edge of GPTC_GATE. When the first
GPTC_GATE edge triggers the counter, GPTC_GATE has no effect until
software start is executed again. Generation of two pulses with a pulse
delay of four and a pulse-width of three is shown.

Mode 8: Continuous Gated Pulse Generation

This mode generates periodic pulses with programmable pulse interval
and pulse-width following software start. GPTC_GATE enables/disables
calculation. When GPTC_GATE is inactive, the counter halts the current
count value. Generation of two pulses with a pulse delay of four and a
pulse-width of three is shown.

Mode 9: Edge Separation Measurement

Measures the time differentiation between two different pulse signals.
The first pulse signal is connected to GPTC_GATE and the second signal
is connected to GPTC_AUX. Clocks that pass between the rising edge
signal of two different pulses through the 40 MHz internal clock or exter-
nal clock are calculated. You can calculate the time period via the known
