What is postcaler, which is used in pic timers, for ?
 

postscaler pic

The postscaler is used to extend the time period that a timer can generate.

If you set the postscaler to 4 for example you will get four times the timeperiod the timer can generate normally.

I use this often to get a lower frequency of an interrupt for example.

hope this helps
