Setup Input Capture

	//----- SETUP TIMER 3 -----
	//Used for: Input capture
	OpenTimer3((T3_ON | T3_IDLE_CON | T3_GATE_OFF | T3_PS_1_1 | T3_SOURCE_INT), 0xffff);
	
	//-------------------------------
	//----- SETUP INPUT CAPTURE -----
	//-------------------------------
	//Parameter 1:
	//IC_EVERY_FALL_EDGE			Capture timer value on every falling edge of input applied at the ICx pin
	//IC_EVERY_RISE_EDGE 			Capture timer value on every rising edge of input applied at the ICx pin
	//IC_EVERY_4_RISE_EDGE 			Capture timer value on every fourth rising edge of input applied at the ICx pin
	//IC_EVERY_16_RISE_EDGE 		Capture timer value on every sixteenth rising edge of input applied at the ICx pin
	//IC_EVERY_EDGE					Capture timer value on every rising and falling edge of input applied at the ICx pin
	//IC_SP_EVERY_EDGE				Capture timer value on the specified edge and every edge thereafter
	//
	//Parameter 2:
	//IC_INT_1CAPTURE 			//Interrupt on first Capture 
	//IC_INT_2CAPTURE 			//Interrupt on second Capture 
	//IC_INT_3CAPTURE 			//Interrupt on third Capture 
	//IC_INT_4CAPTURE 			//Interrupt on fourth Capture 
	//
	//Parameter 3:
	//IC_TIMER2_SRC 				//Timer2 is the clock source for Capture 
	//IC_TIMER3_SRC 				//Timer 3 is the clock source for Capture 
	//
	//Parameter 4:
	//IC_FEDGE_FALL 				//Capture Falling Edge First 
	//IC_FEDGE_RISE 				//Capture Rising Edge First 
    OpenCapture1( IC_EVERY_FALL_EDGE | IC_INT_1CAPTURE | IC_TIMER3_SRC | IC_FEDGE_RISE | IC_ON );
	OpenCapture2( IC_EVERY_FALL_EDGE | IC_INT_1CAPTURE | IC_TIMER3_SRC | IC_FEDGE_RISE | IC_ON );
	OpenCapture3( IC_EVERY_FALL_EDGE | IC_INT_1CAPTURE | IC_TIMER3_SRC | IC_FEDGE_RISE | IC_ON );
	OpenCapture4( IC_EVERY_EDGE | IC_INT_1CAPTURE | IC_TIMER3_SRC | IC_FEDGE_RISE | IC_ON );
	
	//FIF0
	//Each Input Capture has a four-level deep FIFO buffer
	//If the FIFO is full with four capture events and a fifth capture event occurs prior to a read of the FIFO, ICOV bit (ICxCON<4>) is set/
	//The fifth capture event is not recorded, subsequent capture events do not alter the current FIFO contents until the overrun condition is
	//cleared, and an input capture error interrupt will be generated.
Reading the Input Capture

	//GET INPUT CAPTURE
	if (mICxCaptureReady())
	{
		//if (ICxCONbits.ICOV)
		//{
		//	//INPUT CAPTURE HAS OVERRUN
		//	//You don't have to worry about this if you don't care about every capture as reading the 4 FIFO entries will clear it and start it storing
		//	//again - it just stops storing while the FIFO is full).
		//	//If you care then disable the input capture and then re-enable it again
		//}
				
		while(mICxCaptureReady())			//Each Input Capture has a four-level deep FIFO buffer
		{
			int CaptureTime = mICxReadCapture();
