Run this in the MPLAB sim. Have the stimulus window open, click animate, and when it stops on "IF (capture = 0) Then loop" ' Wait here until captured click the stimulus "fire button" to toggle RC2.
Code:
DEFINE LOADER_USED 1 ' Optional, allows use of melabs Loader
DEFINE osc 20

capture VAR PIR1.2 ' CCP1 capture flag
overflow VAR PIR1.0 ' Timer1 overflow flag

A VAR WORD ' Word variable that stores the value
I VAR BYTE
period var WORD

TMR1L=0 ' Reset Timer 
TMR1H=0 ' Remember Timer is OFF

CCPR1L=0 
CCPR1H=0

If you're running this with animate, then go have yourself a cup of coffee because it's going to take a while before the EEPROM write happens.

If you use the run button, then click the stimulus fire button a few times while it's running, then click stop after a few seconds. In the EEPROM window, you'll see location 00 holding the captured value.
