Processor Frequency
In this dialog you set the clock speed at which you want your code to run. These values
will also be used to set certain fields in the Stopwatch.
1. Select the Units of frequency
2. Enter the Frequency value
Note: This is only available when the simulator has been selected from the
Debugger Menu.
Note: Configuration bit settings will have no effect on processor speed, e.g., if
using x4 PLL, simulator will run at processor frequency, not 4 times
processor frequency.
