And what is the "proper count"? the code you origionally posted is a down counter.

I guess he refers to the glitches (or whatever they are) he obtains in the counter every time he has a 1 to 0 transition on bit 0.

@Naeem

add this: signal counter_out<= std_logic_vector(3 downto 0);

and assign: counter_out <= counter;

This way counter_out should display the proper count
