The modes of operation are mentioned in the table below. The following sections provide descriptions and examples of how the modes can be used. Note that all waveforms assume WPOL/SPOL/CPOL = 0. For all modes, the REPEAT bit controls whether the acquisition is repeated or single. When REPEAT = 0 (Single Acquisition mode), the timer will stop incrementing and the SMTxGO bit will be reset upon the completion of an acquisition. Otherwise, the timer will continue and allow for continued acquisitions to overwrite the previous ones until the timer is stopped in software.
