The "Addresses" tab provides information on the address areas occupied by the TIM module
in the I/O from the perspective of the CPU.
These addresses are also relevant to you if the CPU is supplied with the date and time of
day by the TIM. In this case, the TIM supplies the time data to the inputs specified here. This
is described in detail elsewhere (refer to the section: Synchronization of the CPU time with
TD7onTIM (Page 135))
The start address and length of the address ranges are assigned by the system. As an
alternative, you can change the inputs and outputs by disabling the system selection option
and entering the start address in the input box manually. Since the addresses are always set
consistently by the system and are not generally used, it is not normally necessary to make a
change.
