yes AndreJ, I think that 16F62x is my "future" pic for a cheap datalogger solution. I have read the specs. and a lot of mail in piclist about this chip: I think taht is a good choice for an "enty-level" logger. Obviosly, a 16F87xx will be a better choice for datalogging (A/D), but at the moment I want a simpler (and cheaper) unit that take only one, max. two type of measure. The only doubt I have, using a 32 Khz unit, is a lowered capability in frequency measure: or I'm wrong?
