This is a Micro850. Timer one begins timing. When the enable input of timer 2 is active I want to load the accumulated count of timer one into the preset value of timer 2. When I build the program I get an error saying I can't do that. How do I accomplish this. Thanks. Mike.
 
I don't know where My head was. Let me start over. Timer1 starts timing. When the enable input for a Move Instructions is true I want to move the elapsed time of Timer1 to the preset value of Timer2. I don't know how to show ladder diagrams on this sight. Any help.
 
Thanks damica1. I see I can't move a timer ET directly. I saw you made it a variable of data type TIMER and all was good. Thanks.
