Pulse Counter

[c_moore]

PBP as well as other compilers that have the COUNT command use a software loop to count pulses. which means that it's a blocking command and nothing else can happen while counting pulses. the code above uses hardware timers that can work in the background.

Thanks Charlie, My knowledge is very limited and I guess when I read that you are specifying a lenght of time for "count" to run it was not any different than his "pause 500"? It just seems if you are pausing for half a second then you could be using this same amount of time for your time duration? Or did I miss something?

Best, Ed
