+The EPOCH counter is designed with 28 bits increasing the total
+measurement range up to \texttildelow45,8~min. For each channel an individual EPOCH
counter is implemented and they are incremented, when the coarse counter
wraps around. The value of the EPOCH counter is kept in a register before it
is written in the channel memory. It is only written in the memory, if a time
