#99307 - Your problem is that you need 3 counter/
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I can get the counter to work, but i just have no idea how to see what it is counting
transitions on the timer input pin (if the timer is configured as a counter)
and how many counts it is doing.
I take it that you are referring to "counts it is doing" in a given time. You do that by emnabling the counter and starting a timer at the same time. when the timer inerrupts, stop the counter and read it.

Your problem is that you need 3 counter/timers

Peter has suggested that you count interrupts in software on an external int pin such as !INT0 to save one counter. If the freq is low enough that may work. Then you would use T0 as the inetrval and T1 for the UART.
Another method is X "run it as a timed counter" then STOP and "set it up for serial and tramsmit" then repeat from X
