Measuring Period & Hz

I Think You Would Need To A Prescaler

[MaurI]

Yes I can use a prescaler but that doesn't change the situation that I don't know how to set a counting period (THE TIME) Because Frequency is number of oscillations per period so I need to know number of impulses and the time in what these impulses appeared. OK then Is it possible to use Timer0 and Timer2 at the same time and stop them at the same time if yes then how. Don't think I'm crazy or stupid I couldn't find an answer to this one.

Thanks

Hi Mate
i think the easiest route would be for you to use a hardware frequency
divider chip the can divide your frequency down to the Khz range and then use the ccp capture or timer 1 and you should be ok
BTW what frequency range are you gonna use

F range will be around 300kHz to 2MHz

Well I don't want to use hardware f-divider, because I know that this task can be accomplishet without it but I really can't find any source. But if it comes to that there is no choice I will think of something.
