Is "PAUSE 0" a valid command

[Brock]

I use a math equation for a PAUSE value on one of my designs and it works
fine. The equation depends on a continously changing variable. Sometimes
the result is 0.

If you need something quicker, you can use a PAUSEUS.

Hi,

Made some trails this morning ( 16F628 @4Mhz, internal Clock )

While m_a



outp = 1
Pause 0
outp = 0
Pauseus 100

Result is a beautiful 18.2 ... µS High pulse. ( @ 4Mhz !!! ) ( The bypass .1µF cap effect clearly shown ...)

as expected, it's not so far from Pauseus minimum duration ...

Keep in mind this "Ghost" pulses can easily trigger an unwanted event ... an a special test on the 0 value might be added.

PS for Bob : you might give a cup of strong coffee to your scope ... reading a 2 or 3 µS pulse is not that difficult for my Hameg 203-4 ( a basic 20Mhz scope aged ... 20 years these days !!! )

Hi,

Your right about the scope, it's a Fluke scopemeter 190C, and it has trouble keeping up with anything more than around 2 or 3V/uS voltage swing. Being a colour screen, it does make pretty red, & blue patterns when you try to make it work too fast, lol. But I wasnt far out saying a few uS at 20MHz oscilator.

Bob...
