Help with Count PORTB.0

I need to find a circuit to made pulse to test the Count PORTB.0 to see if is reading correct ..

thanks for any help.

Use another PIC and FREQOUT.

thanks for help

Or use the same PIC with hardware PWM. This can output the pulse in the background
while COUNT works in the foreground.

Or use Timer1 in counter mode, and just loop through setting/clearing a pin connected to
the counter input.

Code:

    DEFINE OSC 20 ' tested using a 16F877A on LAB-X1
   
    DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 'Automatically clear any USART overflows.
    DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h 'Set receive register to receiver enabled
    DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h 'Set transmit register to transmitter enabled
    DEFINE HSER_BAUD 9600 'Set baud rate
    Tmr1Val VAR WORD

    HIGH PORTA.0
    TMR1L=0 : TMR1H=0
    T1CON = %00000011
    PAUSE 50
    HSEROUT ["Begin",13,10]

Start:         
    ' Generate a random number

    ' Output random number of low-to-high pulses for
    ' Timer1 counter input
    FOR Loops = 1 TO NumLoops
      LOW PORTA.0
      HIGH PORTA.0
    NEXT Loops
   
    ' Read Timer1 count into word variable Tmr1Val
    Tmr1Val.LowByte = TMR1L
    Tmr1Val.HighByte = TMR1H
   
    ' Display count
    HSEROut [" Random # = ",DEC NumLoops," Count = ",DEC Tmr1Val,13,10]
   
    ' Clear Timer1 count before starting over
    TMR1L=0
    TMR1H=0
    goto start
 
    END
