Forum Post: RE: Counting Clock Cycles on MSP430F47177 in CCS 5.1 isn't working

I also noticed that with the MSP430G2553. My clock says that it takes a little ove 65,000 clock cycles just to write eight bits to a register. That doesn't sound right to me.

I'm using a registered version of CCS 5.5.0.00077 for Windows.
