Thank you all so much for the great responses to my dumb questions. I appreciate it.
Info:
I need to measure the time interval between two rising edges using Timer1 with Internal clock.With 1MHz Fosc, Fosc/4 timer clock with 1:8 prescaler gives 31250Hz. The signal being measured is anywhere between 50-60Hz. Using CCP capture, I am measuring every 16th rising edge to make things easier and then dividing by 16 to get desired value.
Question: How is the value captured from Timer register converted to seconds?
The value should be between 0-65355, but what is the actual interpretation of this?
I really appreciate the help.
