Function
7 CE Counter Enable
This bit enables or disables the timer. From reset, the timers are
disabled and not free running.
0 = disables timer
1 = enables timer
6 UD Up/Down
This bit determines the timer counting direction, in selected modes (see
mode bits, M2:0).
0 = count down
1 = count up
5:3 M2:0 EPA Clock Direction Mode Bits
These bits determine the timer clocking source and direction control
source.

If an external clock is selected, the timer counts on both the rising
and falling edges of the clock.
2:0 P2:0 EPA Clock Prescaler Bits
These bits determine the clock prescaler value.
