XAG-49 Counter setting

Hello

I am working with PXAG49KBA. In my project I used Timer0 as Timer and Timer1 as counter.

The timer in my case is working perfectly (1msec timer).

I want to use Counter to count external frequency. I set Counter 1 in 16 bit non auto reload mode (Set TMOD to 0x50). I cleared TH1 and TL1. Set TR1. On every 500msec I read TH1 and TL1 and clearing it. Every time I got garbage values.

Do I required to use RTL1 and RTH1?

Is there any register I need to set in XAG-49?

In my previous project I worked on P89C51RD2 and used Timer1 as Counter, which is working ok. From the reading, XAG-49 and P89C51RD2 have same settings.

But still my counter is not working. Also I set T1OE bit to 0. Still not succeed.

Any clue on this?

Just from reading the data sheet you seem to doing the right thing.

> Do I required to use RTL1 and RTH1?
I don't think so.

Are the values in TH1 and TL1 correct ( or at least stable) if you use timer mode ( TMOD = 0x10).
How are you timing the 500msec ?
It seems most likely your counter input is faulty, where does it come from ?

Hello

Thanks for reply.

No the input pin is not faulty. I measured the frequency from input pin, which is OK. I also toggle Input pin.

> I read counter on every 500msec with help of my 1msec Timer 0, by incrementing variable upto 500 and after reset it.

Can you provide me a demo of XAG-49 counter so that I can verify.

I have never used the XAG-49 so can't provide code known to work on it.

What signal are you using as input to the counter ?

Can you provide your code and a circuit diagram.
