+Description:
+               Configure the counter associated with Signal Y for
+               non-synchronous or synchronous load mode. Synchronous load mode
+               cannot be selected in non-quadrature (Pulse-Direction) clock
+               mode.
+
+               non-synchronous:
+                       A logic low level is the active level at this index
+                       input. The index function (as enabled via preset_enable)
+                       is performed directly on the active level of the index
+                       input.
+
+               synchronous:
+                       Intended for interfacing with encoder Index output in
+                       quadrature clock mode. The active level is configured
+                       via index_polarity. The index function (as enabled via
+                       preset_enable) is performed synchronously with the
+                       quadrature clock on the active level of the index input.
