PIC Timer 2 calculator
With the PIC Timer 2 calculator you can see the resulting frequencies and periods when you change four pieces of information. :- Frequency (the default is 4MHz).
- The Prescaler ratio.
- Timer
2 period register value.
- The Postscaler ratio.
Jump to PIC Timer 1 calculator.
For the installation instructions of the tcl plugin click this page.
Note: There is a screenshot of the Timer 2 calculator in operation further down the page (shows you what the tool looks like if the tcl plugin is not installed).

you see a blank area or 'click to load' visit this

the tcl plugin installation instructions (you only need to
install the plugin once).PICTimer 2 registers [from 33023a.pdf]
PICTimer 2 calculator
Three sliders let you change the values by dragging a control up and down on the screen and the resulting changes are immediately shown in this page. The first is for the prescaler, the middle is for the Period register and the last is for the postscaler.
Note: Setting of timer 2 value is not shown as the intended use of the timer is for making it easy to control the period of TMR2 using the period register - taking away the need to service interrupts in order to generate a specific frequency.
All you do is set the Prescaler and Postscaler and set the period register PR2. For example if you set Prescaler=1:1 and Postscaler=1:1 and PR2=99. The output period of the module would be 100us i.e. a Timer 2 interrupt every 100us.
Note: Timer 2 counter is reset on the next count after matching PR2 (this is why you need PR2=99 and not 100).
The important point is that there will be no need to set any registers within the interrupt (as you have to do with the other timers). This is why it is used as the baud rate generator for the USARTs - it requires no processing.
