Proteus VSM

After project import you should see two tabs in the application, the schematic capture module
with the F1 Evaluation Board design and the VSM Studio IDE containing the standard Microchip
source code for driving the hardware.
The first thing we need to do is compile the source code and produce some firmware that we
can test in simulation.
Compiler Configuration
The Microchip source code was written using the Hi-Tech PIC16 compiler so we need to have
this tool installed in order to compile firmware. Switch to the VSM Studio tab and launch the
compilers configuration dialogue form from the Config Menu.
The dialogue form lists all of the supported compilers along with an indication of whether or not
they are installed and configured or not. Pressing the 'Check All' button at the bottom of the
dialogue will scan your computer for compilers and - if found - will configure them to work
directly from within Proteus.
Open source compilers can be downloaded and installed directly from Labcenter's servers.
Links are provided to the download page on the vendors website for proprietary compilers. The
