Hi Experts!
I'm probing PJ.2 to view ADC10CLK and the waveform is not as expected. Any ideas why this is?
1) I'm not using the debugger. (Using debugger previously made 8 MHz MCLK look strange)
2) MCLK looks perfect when probing J.0
3) SMCLK shares the same odd behavior as ADC10CLK when probing J.1
4) There is jitter seen on the zoomed out scope capture.
