Answer For the HT86R384 device, as the TMR3 is an 8-bit timer, therefore there is no special order for setting up or reading the timer. However the other counters are 16-bit counters which require two operations in a fixed order for setup and reading. When writing to the 16-bit Timer/Counter, it is necessary to first write the Low Byte and then write the High Byte. Also when reading the order should be to first read the High Byte and then read the Low Byte.
