Simple Read

The first method is to perform a simple read operation. The counter is selected through Port 40h (Counter 0) or 42h (Counter 2).

Note:Performing a direct read from the counter does not return a determinate value, because the counting process is asynchronous to read operations. However, in the case of Counter 2, the count can be stopped by writing to the GATE bit in Port 61h.
