2228 - PAC Designer: How to change the timer value when using an ABEL design?
When using an ABEL design for the Power Manager II devices, the XLAT_STIMER macro and the XLAT_PRESCALER macro are both only used for simulation. Changing these parameters will NOT affect the setting of the timers in the Power Manager II device itself.
To change the timers in the Power Manager II device you MUST use the Schematic entry page (GUI tool) within PAC-Designer. Please note that this is true for all the settings that are changed using the schematic page such as VMON settings, HVOUT settings, I2C address, and the PLD or I2C control settings for the Inputs or Outputs.
The XLAT_STIMER count value is supposed to be in the range of 7-14. If you enter a value outside this range then it can cause errors to be displayed in the simulation results. The XLAT_STIMER macro is only used for simulation so setting an invalid value will not cause a compile error.
