Question: The X24x-lite Device Specification V0.8, Oct. 3 1997, page 115 clearly shows that both GP Timer1 or GP Timer 2 can be selected as the time base for the capture units. There are also timer select bits in the CAPCON register shown on page 118. However, the TMS320F243 Product Preview, SPRS064, Dec 1997, page 37 states that only GP Timer 2 can be used as the time base. Which is correct?

Answer: Both timers can be selected as time base for the capture units.
