pic18f spi

I have a pic interfaced with a RTC and tdc1000 altrasound chip. The rtc requires spi mode mode (1) and the tdc require mode 3.
 
This is in a loop. However once i switch the spi back to mode 1 the rtc displays incorrect values.  DS1305 is the real time clock.
Once the spi mode is not changed the rtc has no issue. I find this extremely strange.

    Are you using a CS line with both devices, and switching mode while both CS signals are idle?

    Are you disabling the MSSP before changing modes?

    I am using two different chip select lines.
    I am not disabling  MSSP before switching modes.
     
    Before calling the tdc1000 routines i switch to mode 3 without disabling mssp and it has no issues.
    At one point i diasbled mssp and call the spi init routine again with mode 1. Same result.
     
    When I comment out the mode change the tdc fails but the rtc is happymad: mad

    Are you using B3 and D0 as your CS lines?
    The TDC1011 uses an active low CS, and I suspect the ESP8266 does too, but you are driving your pins the other way round (active high).
     
     
    (And BCF PIR1,RCIF is pointless, that flag is read-only.)

    Also use LATx instead of PORTx for single bit outputs.

    PORTB,3 is the enable button of the tdc1000. I bring it high when making a measurement then pull it low when done. 
    PORTD,0 goes to the ch_pd pin. i hold it low until i am ready to send an email.
     
    PORTE,0 is the ds1305 enable pin..active high
    PORTB,0 is the tdc1000 chip select active low. 
     
    STILL NO JOY

    I can't see your code controlling PORTB,0 anywhere.
    It is very frustrating trying to diagnose code when you don't post the important bits.

    FIinally got it working. Datasheet is very misleading. Datasheet says rtc should not be able to operate in mode 0
    . I switch to mode 0 for rtc then to mode 3 for tdc then back to mode 0.

    ds1305.


    Maybe post the parts you feel are misleading, someone may be able to clarify?
