4.4.2.7 Mode7: Single Triggered Continuous Pulse Generation
This mode is similar to mode 5, except that the counter generates con-
tinuous periodic pulses with programmable pulse interval and pulse-width 
following the first active edge of GPTC_GATE. Once the first 
GPTC_GATE edge triggers the counter, GPTC_GATE takes no effect until 
the software start is re-executed. Figure 4.4.7 illustrates the generation of 
two pulses with pulse delay of four and pulse-width of three.

4.4.2.8 Mode8: Continuous Gated Pulse Generation
This mode generates periodic pulses with programmable pulse interval 
and pulse-width following the software start. GPTC_GATE is used to 
enable/disable counting. When GPTC_GATE is inactive, the counter halts 
the current count value. Figure 4.4.8 illustrates the generation of two 
pulses with pulse delay of four and pulse-width of three.
