calculate cycle count to second

Yes, your equation is correct if the CPU clock speed is 600 MHz.

I used the following code to confirm that clock speed:

CPU measurement code said:

#if 1 // set to 1 to verify your CPU clock rate
      //
      // Click Run to go to the asm( SWBP ) breakpoint line,
      // Find a clock or timer with visible seconds,
      // Click Run again, wait 10 seconds, click Halt,
      // Observe the CPU clock rate in the Local Watch Window
      //
    {
    /* verify CPU speed using TSCH/L timestamp counter and a wall clock */
        volatile unsigned long long ullTimer1, ullTimer2, CPUClockHz, CPUClockMHz;
        volatile int i;

           Initial_Setup();
      
        // CCS will halt here so you can sync with the wall clock
        asm(" SWBP 0"); 

        TSCL = 0;  // write to TSCL to make sure it is running
      
        ullTimer1 = _itoll( TSCH, TSCL );  // get initial TSCH/L value

        while (1)
        {
             ullTimer2 = _itoll( TSCH, TSCL );
             CPUClockHz = (ullTimer2-ullTimer1)/10;
             CPUClockMHz = CPUClockHz / 1000000;
            
             /* delay (< .5ms) improves chance of stopping in this context */
             for ( i = 0; i < 10000; i+=2 )i--;
        }
    }
#endif
