Dear Russell,

My apologies if the explanation so far seem to make no sense at all. This is the 1st time that I'm using a PCA, thus your assistance is much appreciated.

1. The chip simulated is P89C51RD2HBA.

2. Application to generate a linear frequency ramp from 1Khz ~ 40 Khz at increments of 1 Khz.

3. All values have been confirmed to produce the correct frequency & number of pulses using a scope. However at higher frequencies, my suspicions is that something is causing a delay when the PCA is switching frquencies. This is only seen after 16Khz, but not at lower frquencies.

4. My code :

Non_Value holds the number of pulses which is needed.
Value1 is incremented everytime a pulses is generated.

P.S : I've got Cool Edit, however how would one use it to see the pulses
