dt int timer1 ignores offset value

[Darrel Taylor]

im aiming for 3840 hz, and thats = 64233 offset value.
instead, im getting 3030 hz.

What OSC are you running at?

64233 would be close for 20Mhz.
With 16Mhz OSC it would give 3.06 Khz.

picmulticalc will not run in windows 7

Turn on XP compatability mode for PicMultiCalc.

Timer1 VAR WORD EXT ; what does the EXT stand for?

The EXT (external) modifier.

Scroll down to ... Using EXT with Variables.

thanks again for the reply. yes, i have the osc set for 16 mhz. there's my problem!

about picmulticalc, it starts ok in windows 7 but when you click on any of the buttons (timer calc, timer helper, usart calc) i get a runtime error 713; missing msstdfmt.dll that needs to be installed. rather than troll the web searching for a "trojaned" file, i chose a different calc.

thanks

Hi,
FYI, I run PICMultiCalc on Win7-64bit without any problems, no compatibility mode set or anything.

im using 32 bit windows 7. maybe thats the prob..

I also have win7 32 bit and no problems there either.
Maybe you have a bad copy of multicalc?

When I get back to the shop later to day I will upload the copy I have.

DDDvvv,
You can go here to get the version of MultiCalc that I have. Not sure if there is more than on version... This one works on win7, both 32 and 64 bit machines.
