I searched a lot but couldn`t find/understand what actually does the following lines below do.Or more specifically what does TIMER0_CFG_SPLIT_PAIR ...etc do????

TimerConfigure(TIMER0_BASE, TIMER_CFG_SPLIT_PAIR | TIMER_CFG_A_CAP_TIME);

TimerConfigure(TIMER1_BASE, TIMER_CFG_PERIODIC);

TimerIntEnable(TIMER0_BASE, TIMER_TIMA_TIMEOUT | TIMER_CAPA_EVENT);

TimerIntEnable(TIMER1_BASE, TIMER_TIMA_TIMEOUT);

Hello Shreyas

First of all TIMER0_CFG_SPLIT_PAIR is not a valid define. It is TIMER_CFG_SPLIT_PAIR (minus the 0) as defined in the driverlib and its user guide. Did you check the comments in the timer.c file which describes in one line what it means.

Hello Shreyas,

The comment is:

//! - \b TIMER_CFG_SPLIT_PAIR - Two half-width timers

What did you understand from the line and did you read the data sheet section on timers (just the fist couple of pages of Timer Section) to co-relate the feature and the comment for the define?

Amit
