proteus7.8

Proteus7.8 official version software is from British Labcenter Electronics' EDA tool software, Proteus software has the same principle layout, PCB automatic or manual wiring and circuit simulation functions as other EDA tools. Its revolutionary function is that its circuit simulation is interactive. For microprocessor applications, it can also directly Program on the virtual prototype based on the schematic diagram, and realize real-time debugging at the software source code level. If there is display and output, you can also see the effect of input and output after running. Virtual instruments such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc. that match the system configuration. You don't need anything else. Proteus has established a complete electronic design and development environment for you.
