#167695 - i'm sorry
Responding to: ???'s previous message
If used prescaller is 1k and timebase is 1 sec, when measured is F=1GHz -
micro will count 1M pulses+/-1 pulse , lost will be in wors case 0.99 pulses.
So on display will be, say D=999,999 x 1k =999,999,000 Hz.
(F-D)/F= 1000/1,000,000,000=1/1000,000=1/10000 percent.
I'm wrong?

   Find prescaler. Then find time period. Then multiply count.            01/01/70 00:00

   Dividers increase the error, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
      if extreme precision is required ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         or count more seconds            01/01/70 00:00

   Excellent - responses thanks so much            01/01/70 00:00
