The six most significant bits (D₂–D₇) of PRE₁ hold the prescaler count modulo, a
value from 11 to 64 decimal. The prescaler register also contains control bits that
specify T₁ counting modes. These bits also indicate whether the clock source for
T₁ is internal or external.
The counter/timer T₁ (F2h) consists of an 8-bit down-counter, a write-only register
that holds the initial count value, and a read-only register that holds the current
count value (see Figure 15 on page 30). The initial value can range from 1 to 256
decimal (01h, 02h, ..., 00h). Figure 18 illustrates the counter/timer register.

Counter/Timer Operation
Under software control, T₁ is started and stopped using the Timer Mode register
(F1h) bits D₂–D₃: a Load bit and an Enable Count bit. See Figure 19.
