But some of the channels connected to the input/output pins used by another modules. So if you use (for example) QuadDecoder - this module use 4 pins. This pins cann't be used by timer module to count EXTERNAL signals. But timer module still work and can count INTERNAL events, i.e. IP bus pulses.</BODY></HTML> Fri, 16 Mar 2007 00:25:00 GMT https://community.nxp.com/t5/Other-NXP-Products/56F8323-Resources/m-p/126058#M20 admin 2007-03-16T00:25:00Z
