Description

Output the capture compare register value of the selected timer module and channel when configured in input mode.

Specify the length of data to be read from the capture compare register in Capture data length. For data length greater than 1, DMA must be added for the selected timer module and channel in STM32CubeMX project.

  • Select Output data length to output the length of read data.

  • Select Output status to output status of read data. Status output 1 indicates overrun error.

  • Select Output direction to output counter direction.

To avoid overrun error while reading capture compare register values, you can place the timer capture block within function call subsystem connected to Hardware Interrupt block with one of the following events.

  • Capture compare event of the selected timer and channel - If length of capture compare data to be read is equal 1. This ensures block outputs data when capture compare event interrupt of the selected timer and channel occurs.

    Ensure that the interrupt for the capture compare event is configured in Configuration Parameters > timers > show TIM# > Configurations

  • Transfer complete event of the DMA configured for selected timer and channel - If length of capture compare data to be read is greater than 1. This ensures block outputs data once DMA has read the specified length of data from capture compare register and transfer complete event Interrupt is generated.

Ports

Output

expand all

The channel port output the capture compare register value of the corresponding selected channel.

Data Types: uint16 | uint32

Outputs if overrun occurs during reading the capture compare register.

  • 1 - overrun occurs

  • 0 - no overrun

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Output status parameter.

Data Types: uint8

The block outputs the current direction of the counter as one of the following:

  • 0 - Up counter

  • 1 - Down counter

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Enable timer counter direction output parameter.

Data Types: Boolean

The port outputs the length of the data read from the capture compare register of selected channel.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Output data length parameter.

Data Types: uint32

Parameters

Main

Select the timer module. Number of timer module available will vary for different processors.

Note

Ensure that Timer module is also configured in the STM32CubeMX project.

Select the channel for which you want to read the capture compare register value.

Note

  • Ensure that the channels you want to enable are configured for Input mode in the STM32CubeMX project.

    In STM32CubeMX, go to Timers > TIM# > Mode > Channel#

  • You can configure the selected channel input mode as one of the following depending upon your requirement:

    • Input Capture direct mode or Input Capture indirect mode or Input Capture triggered by TRC(for channels 1-4)

    • PWM input on CH1 or CH2(1 & 2)

    • XOR ON/Hall sensor mode(channel 1-3)

    In STM32CubeMX, go to Timers > TIM# > Mode > Channel#

Length of data to be read from capture compare register.

  • If length is 1 - capture compare register is read in polling mode.

  • if length is greater than 1 - DMA is used to read the specified data length from capture compare register.

Ensure to configure the DMA in STM32CubeMX project. In STM32CubeMX, go toTimers > TIM# > Configuration > DMA settings and add the DMA for the selected channels.

.

Enable this parameter to output the current direction of the counter.

Select this parameter to output the length of read data.

When you select the Output data length parameter, the block configures an output port, Length.

Select this parameter to output status of read data. Status output 1 indicates overrun error.

When you select the Output Status parameter, the block configures an output port, Status.

Specify how often (in seconds) the status of enabled output ports are read if no input ports are selected. Enter a value greater than zero. When you specify this parameter as -1, Simulink® determines the best sample time for the block based on the block context within the model.
