    The datasheet shows T1CKI High Time min is 30nS for asynch mode with a prescaler of 1:1.

    T1CKI Low Time is 30nS. And T1CKI minimum Input Period is 60nS.

    So 1/60nS = the max input clock frequency it could handle. With your max freq at 200MHz
    divided by 64, you should be well below the max clock input limit.

    Look for AN592. Microchip shows an example using an old PIC1C5x with Timer0 that counts
    up to 50MHz.

    Is there any examples written in picbasic pro, that you know of.
