We are using the NXP LPC2378 ARM7 device. It has four timer counters with match registers. In our use, the four timer counters are identical. Timer 0 is used for our system timer so it's not really part of this question. We need three timers for measuring slow intervals but we need high resolution. So we are using the pre-scaler to give us a 10 microsecond tick. All three timers will use a 10 microsecond tick. Any one of the timers with four match registers can accomplish the interval timing. So, the question is, should we program just one timer and three match registers? Or should be use three timers and one match register? Or should we use two timer for the three intervals and save one timer four possible future needs. At present, we have plenty of code space and no low power requirements. Just wondering what others would do. I have programmed just one timer counter and three match registers for the present. Bradford
In another piece of code I must clear the timer counter. That will mess up the count for the other two interval timers. My Bad Again. Bradford
