Hello,
Thanks Frank for the reply.
>How would you prefer to cause interrupts?
I want to simulate a periodic interrupt( specifically,
I want to be able to count the heart beats which is
assumed to come as interrupts from and external
sensor). Hence, I guess a script or a program would be
a suitable way to do it.
Presently,I am reading through the SID user manual. Is
there any other documentation, which can be helpful?
Thank you very much.
