PIC Simulator IDE is a tool which provides users with features such as emulator, basic compiler, assembler, disassemble and debugger. These functions are available in a user friendly graphical interface.
The program helps the user to view the internal microcontroller architecture. It has features such as FLASH program memory editor, variable simulation rate and a powerful PIC basic compiler. It features code debugging using breakpoints manager. The program is featured in three data types i.e., 1-bit, 1-byte, 2-byte and 4-byte that supports 32-bit arithmetic. To solve the purpose of proper communication with other devices it features a PC’s serial port terminal. It is bundled with many signal generator simulation tools along with an Oscilloscope. The program has many color themes to make it user-friendly. It supports external simulation modules and extensive program options.
The users can find great improvements than its earlier version. It is easy to use and helps in quick PIC programming. The free upgrades and additional features have made the program a bundle of utilities. The basic compiler saves a lot of time as it is very powerful. It can be fairly easy to operate even for a novice.
v6.99 [Jan 5, 2011]
