2.8.6 Event Configurator

The Event Configurator of MPLAB Harmony v3 involves selecting and setting up peripherals to act as event generators and users, then assigning them to specific event channels.

  • Event Generator: Choose peripherals that will act as event generators. For example, the Real-Time Clock (RTC) can be configured to trigger events.
  • Event User: Choose peripherals that will act as event users. The Analog Comparator Start of Conversion (AC_SOC) can be set to respond to events generated by the RTC.
  • Event Channel: Map the RTC (event generator) to the AC_SOC (event user) on a specific event channel, which allows the AC_SOC to start a conversion when the RTC triggers an event.
