Is it possible to start one counter on the rising edge of its gate and the second counter on the falling edge of the gate of the first counter?

Hello,
for my application I want to perform a buffered semi-period measurement with three counters.

Therefore the first one have to start on a rising edge of its GATE and stop on the next rising edge. This is not a problem.
But the second one should start on the falling edge (that immediately follows the rising edge) of counter 1 and stop the same time counter 1 will do.
The third one should start after the falling edge of counter 2.

Is this actually possible?

Thanks in advance.

I think I may be a bit confused on exactly what you are trying to accomplish, so if my answer does not
help, I apologize.

Anyways, the way to do it (from what I gather) is to set the gate of the third counter to start on the falling edge of counter 1 and start on the next falling edge of counter 1.

A little more clarity in how the counters are intended to start/stop may be helpful in getting a better answer.
