Joe,
     OK. My understanding of the PWM is that once setup it continues to=20
output what ever all by its self with no input from the rest of the code=20
being necessary. So why not send this pulse to a gate and use a pin to=20
open that gate and send the pulse on to the count control gate when it=20
is necessary?
     OK, I see. So you just execute 5 or 6 NOPs for the reset pulse=20
since it isn't critical?
Thanks,
rich!
