Bob,
     OK. But how do I do this? I want to put out a one second high pulse=20
and then pull it low. Then I want to wait for 15 seconds. Next I want to=20
output a high for at least 20ns. Output the one second pulse, wait for=20
15 seconds, output the 20+ns pulse, output the one second pulse, and=20
continue doing this forever.
Thanks,
rich!
P.S. I will eventually add an ADC to control how long we wait before we=20
output the 20+ns reset pulse and then the one second gating pulse.
rich!
