counting pulses without using counters in 89c51 microcontrol

[vijiembed]

Hai friends,
I need an urgent help.
Pl help me.
Actually, i gave a sensor output pulse to a single IO pin.
I want to count how many pulses entered within a single second without using couner.
Is it possible in AT89c51 microcontroller or AT89c55wd microcontroller.
Pl help me...
Thanks in advance...

connect the signal to interrupt.
in the ISR just increment the software variable and exit. use assembly for fast response.

Hai friend,
Actually, i try to write the code for counting pulses without using timers.
The code is shown below.
Pl check it.



sbit x=P1^5; //the pulse is given to this pin
void sensor()
{
unsigned char i=1275,j=1000,k=0;
x=0;
delay();
while(j)
{
while(i)
{
if(x==1)
{
k=k+1; //k has the no of pulses
x=0;
}
i--;
}
j--;
}



Pl check it.
Thanks in advance.
