                             Figure 7.17  Start of the RX_demo program in the PSerT.




                                Below is the RX_demo program listing for which I have included the original
                             documentation as well as my own comments to help clarify the program’s functioning.

                             Theory of Operation:

                             Launch three cogs using the object RX which in turn starts two
                             counters. This approach does NOT need the pulses to arrive on the
                             pins in any certain order, nor does it require the pins to be all
                             connected. Whatever pulse is received on pin 14 is then sent out to
                             pin 1 and so on.
                             }}
