Counter 2 Interval Time Status Byte Format. Counter 2 Interval Time Status Byte 

Format. Status byte can be read following a Read Back Command. If latch status is 

chosen (bit 4=0, Read Back Command) as a read back option for counter 2, the next 

read from this register returns the status byte.

Default: 00h

CR: Count Register: When cleared, indicates when the last count written to the Count 

Register (CR) has been loaded into the counting element (CE) and is available for 

reading. The time this happens depends on the counter mode.
