Yes, I meant the TSCNT register. Sorry about that!
The Counter subsystem is providing an abstraction for users, so although
the ECAP pin signal is serving physically on the device as a clock for
the Mod4 counter, it also serves the TSCNT counter in an abstract sense
as the trigger signal to capture the TSCNT value. The Counter subsystem
paradigm allows you to define these abstract relationships between
Counts and Signals as Synapses.
