17.4.4 External clock source mode 2
The counter can count at each rising or falling edge on the ETR. This mode is selected by
writing ECE = 1 in the TIM1_ETR register.
The Figure 47 gives an overview of the external trigger input block.

Procedure
Use the following procedure to configure the up-counter and, for example, to count once
every two rising edges on the ETR:
1. As no filter is needed in this example, write ETF[3:0] = 0000 in the TIM1_ETR register.
2. Set the prescaler by writing ETPS[1:0] = 01 in the TIM1_ETR register.
3. Select rising edge detection on the ETR pin by writing ETP = 0 in the TIM1_ETR
register.
4. Enable external clock mode 2 by writing ECE = 1 in the TIM1_ETR register.
5. Enable the counter by writing CEN = 1 in the TIM1_CR1 register.
The counter counts once every two ETR rising edges.
The delay between the rising edge on the ETR and the actual reset of the counter is due to
the resynchronization circuit on the external trigger signal (ETRP).
