The PIC12F1822 microcontroller is programmed to count the input frequency during accurate 1 second by dividing the 8 MHz crystal. The CPU runs at 32MHz from a PLL. The counter measures the frequency for 0.1sec first, if the frequency is greater than 2MHz TMR0 prescaler divides by 4 to increase the input frequency range to 16MHz with resolution of 4Hz, when the frequency is below 2MHz TMR0 is set for no prescaling and the measurement is with resolution of 1Hz. The frequency is displayed with leading zeros removed down to 3 digits. The font used is 5x7 pixels universal font.
