Abstract
A timer channel with multiple timer reference signals available to it which is capable of performing any input or output timer function with reference to any of the available reference signals. In addition, input timer functions may be related to the occurrence of output functions. For instance, the state of one timer reference may be captured automatically at a specified time referenced to another timer reference. Another feature of the invention provides for the creation of a time-out window for an input timer function through the use of a concurrent output function.
