Figure 90. Example of counter operation in encoder interface mode.
Figure 91 gives an example of counter behavior when TI1FP1 polarity is inverted (same 
configuration as above except CC1P=’1’).
Figure 91. Example of encoder interface mode with TI1FP1 polarity inverted.
The timer, when configured in Encoder Interface mode provides information on the sensor’s 
current position. Dynamic information can be obtained (speed, acceleration, deceleration) 
by measuring the period between two encoder events using a second timer configured in 
capture mode. The output of the encoder which indicates the mechanical zero can be used 
for this purpose. Depending on the time between two events, the counter can also be read 
at regular times. This can be done by latching the counter value into a third input capture 
register if available (then the capture signal must be periodic and can be generated by 
another timer). when available, it is also possible to read its value through a DMA request 
generated by a real-time clock.
