MSP430F5528: Time measurement

Hi,

I want to measure the time interval between transmitting and receiving and show it on a lcd. I have written a code that enables the timer 0 when a data is transmitting and stops the timer when a data is received. Then copies the TA0R value to lcd. Every time it is showing the data but that are some random values. I am inserting my code here . If there any problem then guide me.

#include <msp430.h>

#define DR P4OUT = P4OUT | BIT1 // define RS high
#define CWR P4OUT = P4OUT & (~BIT1) // define RS low
#define READ P4OUT = P4OUT | BIT2 // define Read signal R/W = 1 for reading
#define WRITE P4OUT = P4OUT & (~BIT2) // define Write signal R/W = 0 for writing
#define ENABLE_HIGH P1OUT = P1OUT | BIT4 // define Enable high signal
#define ENABLE_LOW P1OUT = P1OUT & (~BIT4) // define Enable Low signal

unsigned int j;
