If I'm using the RTCC to generate relatively long times betwee pulses (like 1-100 seconds) is it correct in the ISR only set the prescalar high and do just a simple variable increment in the interupt and then do the scale-up looping in Main? In other words, would it be better to move that scaling into the interupt? I'm a little perplexed by the result. I'm getting a flash every 3.8 seconds when I expected every 4.2 seconds. I can't imagine anything happening in processing at an SX's speed that is using up .4 seconds. Anyhow, the RTCC should kick in regardless of what is happening in main, that is the idea of an interupt. Sources: ?? Internal timer is off by 11% My math is wrong? PAUSE 500 is having an effect on the RCTT? I'm also having problems finding in the literature when the RTCC is set to zero. Assuming prescaler of 1:1, does that always happen on the next cycle after count 255, regardless of the execution being in ISR or MAIN and regardless of what command is being executed (understanding, of course, that some commands take several cycles ot complete). Next step is to count the flashes and have the count show up on my four digit display. Then I want to get the timing solved and get an exact 0.010 second count going in the display Last, I want the display timer to start and end with closing of switches. Then I will have a timer for the elapse between switch-closing events lasting 0 to 99 seconds displayed to 0.01 seconds.

I normally have the interrupt to ALL the work, but if you need cooperation, have the main program clear a flag, then have the interrupt SET the flag after the time has been reached. The main program will look the flag to be set, then perform whatever action, then clear the flag again. Also you should check for the counters being zero instead of 255. When they reach 255 that is only dividing by 255 NOT 256. IF ISRCOUnter = 0 Then ISRMultiplier1 = ISRMultiplier1 + 1 IF ISRMultiplier1 = 0 Then PAUSE will not affect RTCC adversely. RTCC will be zero the very next cycle after it is 255. When the very first interrupt instruction is executed RTCC is 3. (Remember SX/B does some housekeeping for interrupts so RTCC will be > 3 when the first SX/B instruction is executed). John, as for the display (I'm assuming you mean the HC4LED display from me), keep each digit as a seperate variable. This eliminates the need to decode the digits. Something like Digits VAR Byte (4) INC Digits(0) IF Digits(0) = 10 THEN Digits(0) = 0 INC Digits(1) IF Digits(1) = 10 THEN Digits(1) = 0 INC Digits(2) ' And so on... Bean.
