Methods Enable, Disable

Most of the hardware components support the methods Enable and Disable. These methods enable or disable peripheral functionality, which causes disabling of functionality of the component as well.

Tip: Disabling of the peripheral functionality may save processor resources.

Overview of the method behavior according to the component type:

Timer components: timer counter is stopped if it is not shared with another component. If the timer is shared, the interrupt may be disabled (if it is not also shared).
Communication components , such as serial or CAN communication: peripheral is disabled.
Conversion components , such as A/D and D/A: converter is disabled. The conversion is restarted by Enable.

If the component is disabled, some methods may not be used. Refer to components documentation for details.
