timer capture compare

Im going to capture simultaneously 4 input signals(same inputs for 4 channels) using Timer 8 by enabling all the interrupts in TIM->CCER register .. But it was not capturing correctly and im getting  channel number  2 and 4 continuously compared to 1 and 3 channels while im giving same frequency for all the channels..

please help me to solve this problem..

On which board/part?

Make sure you aren't using PWM Input Capture mode. Regular input capture should be able to latch the time base independently on each of the 4 channels. The CCR registers are latches.

Thank you for your reply... I am using STM32F103ZET6 for frequency capturing. Is it possible to capture 4 channels of Timer8 at once by enabling all the 4 interrupts at same time.

Im finding only TIM1_CC_IRQ Handler and TIM8_CC_IRQ Handler for frequency capturing in STM32F103ZET6, and im trying to do the same in TIM3 and TIM4 by configuring same as the TIM1 and TIM8,  but I don't know how to capture the frequency using these timers, can u please help me to overcome this problem..

TIM3_IRQHandler, the interrupts all share a common handler.

Not your part, but perhaps illustrative.

Thank you.. (STM32F103ZET6) Now it is capturing 6 channels 4 from TIM8(CH1 & CH2 & CH3 & CH4) and 2 from TIM1(CH1 & CH4) and if i gave 6th channels TIM1_CH1 or TIM1_CH4 then it will fluctuates all the other 5 channels .. And also if i increase the frequency of all channels expect channels CH2 and CH3 of TIM8,then it was capturing the lower frequencies of all other channels , if im keep on increasing TIM8_CH1 and TIM8_CH4 and TIM1_CH1, then TIM8_CH2 and TIM8_CH3 frequencies are fluctuating more... please help me to solve this problems.... below is the code

I'm not sure I'm invested in wading through that.

What frequency ranges are we talking about? Don't use TIMx->SR &=  this is not how to clear status and causes hazards.

Thank u Clive now the code is working and we are talking about 5Hz-1KHz by cascading the timers.. Now also im clearing the status register like TIMx->SR&= .. But before im clearing 'Status Register' by writting '0' into it, that was clearing all the interrupts flag so i used this way.. Can u tell me the other method of clearing the status registers..

if (TIM8->SR & 2) // TIM_IT_CC1

    {         TIM8->SR = ~2; ..
