Hi 

IN the past it seemed the periodic recalibration of the DCO in the
MSP430 had been removed for some reason. Has that been reinstated? Or is
there some means to programaticaly force a recalibration?

I had been using the DCO as the UART clock source. I found that even at
9600 baud - in *outdoor* applications the typical temperature changes
would cause the async comm to stop working. I confirmed that the problem
was frequency drift by using a scope and resetting the MSP430 - thus
recalibrating the  DCO - would always fix it.

If there is  some reason an automatic, periodic recalibration can not be
done, in my present application the MSP430 always initiates the
communication and it  is infrequent so it if there was a routine to
force a recalibration that would work for me - otherwise I will need to
use an external accurate clock source for baud rate generation.

Thanks
Steve
