Cascaded Timer Causes Delay

Using the STM32427, with TIM5 set up as a master to TIM1 and TIM8. This works fine; I get synchronous pulses like I expect. However, I'd also like to have TIM1 act as master for TIM4. When I enable TIM1 in master mode, it suddenly is no longer synchronous w/ TIM5/TIM8.

Hi

I thought I had answered you before.....

''When I enable TIM1 in master mode, it suddenly is no longer synchronous w/ TIM5/TIM8. ''

I am not sure what happens if you cascade timers as masters ie

TIM5 is master to TIM1 and TIM8

TIM1 is master to TIM4

Why do you not make TIM4 a slave to TIM5 as well (if that is possible - I am not sure)?
