I'm pretty sure that's not possible with a single timer.Even with two timers I'm not sure, offhand, whether you can synchronized them to your requirements.

it is not possible to start second pulse ''exactly'' when the first pulse ends but the SHIFT can be minimized with some custom code. have a look at RM0008 reference manual > Timer Synchronization (article 13.3.15 - page 296)

hope it helps. regards.

(...After some time working on another project). Thank you for your replies. I did look at the ''Timer Synchronization'', but unfortunately, this talks about using one timer to trigger another, something that I could see how to do it.... here we want one channel to trigger another from the same timer. My feeling is that this cannot be done. I just need to convince my hardware engineer who designed it that way ;)
