    Default Re: Elapsed Timer Demo

    Hi,
    A Pause (or any other command) will not interfere with the interrupt - it'll keep running in the background.
    However, if you're interrupting at a high rate the context saving, interrupt code and context restore will take cycles from the main PBP program without it knowing so your pause may be a bit longer than what you specify. For non critical timings it's not a problem.

    /Henrik.

    EDIT: Obviosuly interrupting at ANY rate will take cycles away from the main program. What I mean is that the faster you interrupt the more cycles will "vanish" and any software timed routines like Pause, SERIN, Pulsin that you have in the main program will be affected.
