Hello to all group members,

I am currently working on my M.Sc thesis, i.e. to design and test of
sensors and actuators of a mobile robot. I have interfaced these
sensors to Infinion's C167-LM (16-bit) microcontroller.
I want to use Port3.7 as an output, but this port also has an alternate
function (Timer 2 Count Input). In my application, T2 is used to count
the time between up Interrupt to down Interrupt of encoder pulses, and
then calcultaes the velocity of the robot.
My question is, if i use P3.7 as an output pin, will it effect the
fuctionality of Timer T2 in above mentioned application.

Note: The ecoders are not connected to Port3.7 but to Port2 of C167 and
fast external Interrupts are generated for each rising positive edge.

Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!
