- P3.5 (pin15) is used to count pulses for timer1
- C/T=1 for using timer1 as a counter
Consider the example below. Here we are using the timer1 in mode 2 and it is acting like a counter.MOV TMOD,#01100000B ;this sets the timer1 in mode2 & as counter
Instructions for starting or stopping the counter are same as that in case of timer.
but i wish to use it as a counter in interrupt mode
plz tell me the program...
There is a magical thing called datasheet, try reading that as well. When i started off with assembly the syntax looked like weird names, TMOD,TCON,SMOD ,you do not encounter them daily, but a little enthusiasm to learn , and i was through. Though i do not use 8051 series microcontrollers , and have started using 'C' compilers , i still peek into the datasheet to know the different register configuration because that is the basic stuff we need to know
