Detailed Description

This class is used to measure the frequency or cycles of a high speed input. On the Serial Wombat 18AB chip this class can be used two times, as two clock inputs are avaialble. An enhanced digital capability pin must be used.

This pin mode has been tested on inputs up to 4MHz on the 18AB.

For frequency measurements a number of counts is divided by a time. The time in mS can be specified. The frequency is updated every X ms. In order to get a good value, X should be an even divisor of 1000.

The counter can be retreived and optionally be reset on reading.

The public data buffer for this pin mode can be based either on the count of cycles or the frequency.

Since the public data buffer is limited to 16 bits a divisor is available that's applied to the counter or frequency before it's copied to the public data buffer. That way a varying high speed frequency can still create a varying public data buffer rather than saturating at 65535.

A video Tutorial on this pin mode may be available in the future:
