VSM TUTORIAL (Interactive)
Introduction – Interactive Simulation
The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to conduct an interactive simulation with a
microcontroller using Proteus VSM and the VSM Studio IDE. The emphasis will be on practical
usage of the simulator and IDE, with more detailed coverage of each topic being available in the
reference manuals. This tutorial does not cover schematic entry; if you are not familiar with
drawing in Proteus then you should take the time to work through the tutorial content in the
Proteus reference manual.
We will use a pre-drawn schematic of the Microchip F1 Evaluation Board as shown below.
Starting from the basics of driving the simulation from the VSM Studio IDE we will then look at
some of the various debugging and measurement tools available inside the Proteus VSM
software.
