MSP430x20x2 DCO and MSCLK

Hi,

I have a probelm as follows:

I want to run the Timer_A with SMCLK clock signal (SMCLK is sourced fomr DCO), I am using Emulator/Debugger tool, I also set all the parameters as required, but it is not working…

I also tried to see the DCO (SMCLK) on pin 1.4 because it is multiplexed, offcourse I set up “P1DIR |= 0x10;” and “P1SEL |= 0x10;” and unfortunaltey I can not see the SMCLK signal, why? any one has an idea?

thanks for your help

Ahmad

P.S with the case, if I used VLO on the timer and on pin p1.0, VLO working fine, but why not with MSCLK?
