10.9 Software Simulator (MPSIM)
The MPSIM Software Simulator allows code
development in a PC host environment. It allows the
user to simulate the PIC16/17 series microcontrollers
on an instruction level. On any given instruction, the
user may examine or modify any of the data areas or
provide external stimulus to any of the pins. The
input/output radix can be set by the user and the
execution can be performed in; single step, execute
until break, or in a trace mode. MPSIM fully supports
symbolic debugging using MP-C and MPASM. The
Software Simulator offers the low cost flexibility to
develop and debug code outside of the laboratory
environment making it an excellent multi-project
software development tool.
10.10 C Compiler (MP-C)
The MP-C Code Development System is a complete 'C'
compiler and integrated development environment for
Microchip’s PIC16/17 family of microcontrollers. The
compiler provides powerful integration capabilities and
ease of use not found with other compilers.
For easier source level debugging, the compiler
provides symbol information that is compatible with the
PICMASTER Universal Emulator memory display
(PICMASTER emulator software versions 1.13
and later).
The MP-C Code Development System is supplied
directly by Byte Craft Limited of Waterloo, Ontario,
Canada. If you have any questions, please contact
your regional Microchip FAE or Microchip technical
support personnel at (602) 786-7627.

10.11 Fuzzy Logic Development System
(fuzzyTECH-MP)
fuzzyTECH-MP fuzzy logic development tool is
available in two versions - a low cost introductory
version, MP Explorer, for designers to gain a
comprehensive working knowledge of fuzzy logic
system design; and a full-featured version,
fuzzyTECH-MP, edition for implementing more
complex systems.
Both versions include Microchip’s fuzzyLAB™
demonstration board for hands-on experience with
fuzzy logic systems implementation.
10.12 Development Systems
For convenience, the development tools are packaged
into comprehensive systems as listed in Table 10-2.
