MSP430F2418: Problem in sending multiple senor data via UART

Part Number:MSP430F2418

Hi,

I am trying to send multiple sensor data (assume integer value) from MSP430 through UART interface. I am using 'Tera Term' to view data.

While sending one senor data repeatedly (at a particular interval, using timer interrupt) through UART, there is no problem. But while sending multiple senor data one after another, it is not sending properly.

The important part is TIMER ISR and UART ISR. As you can see, every ~0.5 sec Timer ISR will be called and every 5 sec (0.5 x 10) the "if" statement will be executed.

My observations on UART terminal: Instead of getting    60003000 //-------5sec gap ---------// 60003000 //------

                                                     I am getting            63000 // -------5sec gap ---------// 63000 //------

So, only the 1st character of num1 is sent and then whole num2, and this steps repeats.

So, can anybody please tell me, what the things need to be modified in Timer ISR and Uart ISR to get 60003000. Thanks in advance and Happy New Year.

#include <msp430.h>

unsigned int j;             //Counter

// for simplicity, assume num1 and num2 as two senor value

unsigned int num1 = 6000;        
unsigned int num2 = 3000;

unsigned int timerIsrCount = 0;
