It is assumed that the time measured is small enough
that the capacitance, C
to the A/D Converter. For the smallest time measure-
ment, always set the A/D Channel Select register
(AD1CHS) to an unused A/D channel; the correspond-
ing pin for which is not connected to any circuit board
trace. This minimizes added stray capacitance, keep-
ing the total circuit capacitance close to that of the A/D
Converter itself (4-5 pF). To measure longer time
intervals, an external capacitor may be connected to an
A/D channel and this channel selected when making a
time measurement.
