1000 and the preset value to 
2000 for HSC0 when I2.0 
transitions from OFF to ON.

Attaching HSC interrupt routines in your program 
All high-speed counter modes support an interrupt event when the current value of the HSC 
is equal to the loaded preset value. Counter modes that use an external reset input support 
an interrupt on activation of the external reset. All counter modes except modes 0 and 1 
support an interrupt on a change in counting direction. Each of these interrupt conditions can 
be enabled or disabled separately. For a complete discussion on the use of interrupts, see 
the section about Interrupt instructions (Page 322).
