On the PC LPM 16 can you use the internal clock with both Counter 0 and Counter 1 at the same time?

If so, how would you set the timebasesource and the timebase signal to accomplish this? I'm using Component Works 2.0 and would appreciate any assistance in setting up both these counters to generate pulses from the internal clock.

Hi,

I scoured through the manual and found this on page 3-9:
The timebase for counter 0 uses a 1 MHz clock generated from an onboard oscillator. You must externally supply the timebases for 1 and 2 through the 50-pin I/O connector.

Having said that, what you might try is to generate a signal from counter 0 based on the internal timebase and then manually wiring that signal to counters 1 and 2 as a common source.

Hope this gets you going!
