What is wrong in this quad timer???

Started by Unknown August 18, 2004
Hi. to understand working of the quad timer i have
written this little software:

//code begins(count up with ip bus clock -60mhz-)
unsigned int cnt1;

void main(void)
{
/*** Processor Expert internal initialization. DON'T
REMOVE THIS CODE!!! ***/
PE_low_level_init();
/*** End of Processor Expert internal
initialization. ***/

/* Write your code here */
PESL(TMRA0, QT_WRITE_CONTROL_REG, 0b0011000000000000);
PESL(TMRA0, QT_WRITE_COMPARE_REG1, 0xFFFF);

while(1)
{

PESL(TMRA0, QT_WRITE_COUNTER_REG, 0);
cnt1 = PESL(TMRA0, QT_READ_COUNTER_REG, ...);

PESL(TMRA0, QT_WRITE_COUNTER_REG, 0);
cnt1 = PESL(TMRA0, QT_READ_COUNTER_REG, ...);

PESL(TMRA0, QT_WRITE_COUNTER_REG, 0);
cnt1 = PESL(TMRA0, QT_READ_COUNTER_REG, ...);

PESL(TMRA0, QT_WRITE_COUNTER_REG, 0);
cnt1 = PESL(TMRA0, QT_READ_COUNTER_REG, ...);

}

}
//code ends

my aim:

clear timer
read timer
clear timer
read timer
clear timer
read timer
clear timer
read timer

i am reading cnt1 register by putting breakpoints. But
in every reading it has different value. i have just
tried and read these values respectively:
21354-28481-38797-56163.....logically i have to read
same numbers from the timer. Because i am clearing it
before every reading. And i have to read small numbers
because i am immediatly reading timer after clearing.
What is my mistake????

Regards..................

What processor are using? I have executed this code on 56F8323 demo
board and it worked fine: every read of count register gave me value
of 3.

thanks.i am using 56f8300 demo board(the board which
has e-field sensor with 56f8323).i am trying this code
for a while and it dosn't work properly..........
i didn't use any pe bean. i have used pe to initalize
cpu. all code is this.
if it works in your board it should work also in my
board:))it is odd.
