T1_CLK_OUT

[Andrew83]

Hello !
I have a question : What does "T1_CLK_OUT" do when configuring timer 1 for example ...I looked it up on the manual but doesn't seem to be explained there.

Thank you !

P.S. I'm using the latest CCS C version .

This is just speculation, but if you look in the relevant <device>.h header file that defines T1_CLK_OUT and other parameters to setup_timer1(), and compare those bit patterns with the bit definitions for T1CON in the Microchip data sheet, it seems that many of those bit patterns map to each other. And since T1_CLK_OUT is defined as 0x08, that suggests it turns on the Timer 1 oscillator, which, by the way, does enable an output for the Timer 1 clock as a necessary part of the Timer 1 oscillator. Also consider that none of the other setup_timer1() bits defined by CCS seem to have anything to do with enabling the Timer 1 oscillator, I would say that is exactly what T1_CLK_OUT does. Perhaps CCS should have named it better: T1_OSC_EN maybe?
