The input that the timer counts is an external
signal that is fed into the MCU through the
TRAIO pin.
When a trigger occurs, the timer starts
operating once for a given period.
After the Count Start bit has been set, the timer
waits for a high signal on the TRAIO pin.
E
D
A signal is output from the TRBO pin and is
inverted each time the counter underflows.

Match each timer mode to its function by dragging the letters
on the left to their appropriate locations on the right.
If an underflow occurs while the timer is
counting, the TUNDF bit goes high so that the
underflow can be taken into account.

Programmable Wait One Shot Generation Mode: Timer RB
In this mode, upon program or external trigger input, the device outputs the one-shot pulse from the TRBO pin after waiting for a given length of time.
When a trigger occurs, the timer starts outputting a pulse for a given length of time equal to the set value in the TRBSC register. This is only after
waiting for the TRBPR register to overflow.
