hi i know that mplab is really useless for real time events .. usart etc. so which simulator do i use ? do help me !! ajay --- Dan Michaels wrote: > Sharon Brady wrote: > >Hi, > > > >I am running some simulations using interrupts on > the 17c44 using MPLAB. > > > >due to not been able to look at my inputs on PORTB, > I have changed them to > >outputs to control the different operations. > >I am forcing an interrupt when the bits on portb > change. > >this all works fine except that we have noticed > when RBIF =1, the program > >continues for another 2 commands before jumping to > the interrupt. > >Is this a peculiarity with MPLAB or will also this > occur when I use the pic? > > > >If this does occur, is there a way to prevent it > happening? > > > > Hello Sharon, > > I noticed your query to piclist lanquishing for an > answer all day, > and also perceive you are not a regular [???].
