understanding the pulse.

>>How about using count... or an internal timer?
I am not sure how to do that with the signal im getting.

forget the frequency, from your picture, it's only the dutycycle that change.

>>what's the most important? the frequency or the duty cycle?
In this case I think its the frequency that matters. But I don't know how to get the freq from picbasic.

to get frequency, you could use COUNT, but in your case it should always be the same.

are you sure? I don't know much about reading the scope but to me it looks like between signal 3 and 4 on my picture the freq of the pulse is changeing but not on 1 -2. I need to get this to work on the 2 and 3 example.

Am I reading the scope wrong?

[mister_e]

can you do some screen capture of it?

Sorry but i have to ask, Do you know the difference between DutyCycle and frequency?

F.EDIT : SORRY... yeah seems the last one is different.

can't tell you if it's normal or what... the only thing i see is to do some error trapping, frequency/duty cycle, averaging etc etc etc.

I can try taking a picture of the scope.

I think I do, lol I may be wrong.

The duty cycle is how much of the cycle is on vs off.
The freq is how often the cycle restarts basically?

Well the 2nd two signals are from a proprietary non uniform signal that im trying to figure out.

I think its normal for it to be like that, I just didn't know how use it.

From your previous post looks like count will help me here going to give it a go and let you know what happens
