Hi w.a,

I think that the counting has to be done in the call back of the timer's IRQ handler.

You may refer to the example STM32Cube_FW_F4_V1.7.0\Projects\STM324xG_EVAL\Examples\TIM\TIM_InputCapture to get some insight.

He's NOT asking about Input Capture, which btw has some grave math issues.

What's missing are External Clock Source examples for the TIM, using HAL

Thanks Mayla and Clive for the replies:

Mayla, I have gone through the inputcapture program, in fact I am using that for frequency counting by using internal clock on the  interrupt generated by the external signals, but this project is some what different, I want to have just counts of the external rising pulses but unable to configure by using HAL libraries. I am just a starter to board things, so need step by step guidance/examples to understand and implement things. 

Clive is right, HAL's examples and guidance is some what limited, while there are lot many examples/forums/posts of Firmware available.
