Timer A/B Interrupts RCM3700

Started by esabaj February 14, 2006
I'm using an RCM3700 development kit and I need to copy the state of
some lines periodically from one port to another. It should be done
exactly every x time, so I thought to do it using the timer A/B
interrupt. Is it the better way to do the work, or is there any other
way, like using the periodic interrupt instead of it? In this last
case, can I chain my own isr with the original one that is used to
update the system time? (My program is compiled with the 'Separate I&D
Option' on)

Suggestions?

Timer B will work. I have a free library for it at:

http://shdesigns.org/rabbit/freelibs.html

It will call a user routine from once every 15us to once every 1500
seconds.

Thank you Scott for your quick reply. I have just downloaded the
library and I'll test it later. I think, reading the documentation of
the library, that it's just what I need.
Thank you again....
