Guys,

How can I create 16 bits or more counter in PIC assembly ?

I have

Code: 
      movlw 0xFF
        movwf Counter_1
again decfsz Counter_1
        goto again

How can I make Counter_1 16 bits or more ?

Thanks
 

You don't say what chip you are using. Many of the PIC's have a 16-bit timer (e.g., Timer1 in 12F683). From my reading, you cannot have an 8-bit timer automatically roll over to a second byte without additional code and a few lost cycles.

I'm using 18F4525 and I can't use timer, I want to use my own counter ( register ), set it and reduce, please see my first post...
