Timer Input Capture and systick issue

Hi,

I am trying to timestamp my frequency capture module with the systick register value but everytime, the systick register gets reloaded with a new value during a frequency capture. as shown below. I have loaded it with a large value as previously the systick was just setup as 1ms timer but the issue still occurs. 940518 940273 940019

1001712 I am using g++ and the code are shown below. Regards Paul

Well that and it counts down as I recall. I'd probably look to use the DWT_CYCCNT, which counts up, and takes about a minute to wrap. Then I'd confirm if the delay between samples actually large enough to be causing the SysTick number to wrap.

Thanks Clive. I have managed to fix it. My fifo was too small. Silly me :-)  I will look into the DWT_CYCCNT.
