FILE: eqep_ex1_freq_cal.c
This example calculates the frequency of an input signal using the eQEP module. MCPWM1A is configured to generate this input signal with a frequency of 5kHz. There is an interrupt once every period with a call to the frequency calculation function. This example uses the IQMath library to simplify high-precision calculations.
In addition to the main example file, the following files must be included in this project:
The configuration for this example is as follows:
SPEED_PR: Low Frequency Measurement is obtained by measuring time period of input edges. Time measurement is averaged over 64 edges for better results and the capture unit performs the time measurement using pre-scaled SYSCLK.
Note that the pre-scaler for capture unit clock is selected such that the capture timer does not overflow at the required minimum frequency. This example runs indefinitely until the user stops the timer.
For more information about the frequency calculation see the comments at the beginning of eqep_ex1_calculation.c and the XLS file provided with the project, eqep_ex1_calculation.xls.
