Testing For Timer??

#1 Post by Fritzables » 18 Jul 2008 12:24

Is it possible to test to see if the Timer is running?

For example, can I use something like: If TMR1 = ???? Then... ??

The answer is "yes", you can test several ways; check the flag, display a timer count value... but, the mot important thing is to understand how times work.

Read mE's free online book and/or go to Microchip and look at DS51682A (you can search thier documentation database for it). It's at good timer tutorial (there are two parts, so locate both of them). Although it's writen for 8-bit pic's 99% applies to dsPic.
