I need to make a correction here. IIUC, the ECAPSIG signal doesn't
affect the count value of ECAPCNT (ECAPSIG only triggers the captures),
so the Synapse action for ECAPSIG should always be
COUNTER_SYNAPSE_ACTION_NONE. You don't need to account for the capture
polarities because they're not relevant in this particular situation:
ECAPSIG doesn't trigger the ECAPCNT count function.
