CONTROL REGISTER B:
BIT NAME FUNCTION
--- ---- --------
0 START 1 = start Timer B, 0 = stop Timer B.
This bit is automatically reset (= 0) when
underflow occurs during one-shot mode.
1 PBON 1 = Timer B output on PB7, 0 = PB7 is normal
operation.
2 OUTMODE 1 = toggle, 0 = pulse.
3 RUNMODE 1 = one-shot mode, 0 = continuous mode.
4 LOAD 1 = force load (this is a strobe input, there is no
data storage; bit 4 will always read back a
zero and writing a 0 has no effect.)
6,5 INMODE Bits CRB6 and CRB5 select one of four possible
input modes for Timer B, as follows:
CRB6 CRB5 Mode Selected
---- ---- ---------------------------------------
0 0 Timer B counts 02 pulses
0 1 Timer B counts positive CNT transitions
1 0 Timer B counts Timer A underflow pulses
1 1 Timer B counts Timer A underflow pulses
while CNT pin is held high.
7 ALARM 1 = writing to TOD registers sets Alarm
0 = writing to TOD registers sets TOD clock.
Reading TOD registers always reads TOD clock,
regardless of the state of the Alarm bit.
