Spare Parts
The PICSimLab has a window that allows the connection of spare parts to the microcontroller, it can be accessed through the menu “ Modules-> Spare parts ”.
The main window has the menu with the following functions:
-
File
- New configuration - Clear the spare parts window
- Save configuration - Saves the current settings of the spare parts into .pcf file
- Load configuration - Loads the settings from .pcf file
- Save pin alias - Saves the current pin alias to .ppa text file
- Load pin alias - Loads the pin alias from .ppa file
-
Edit
- Clear pin alias - Clear the pin alias
- Toggle pin alias - Enable/Disable pin alias use
- Edit pin alias - Open current pin alias .ppa file in text editor
- Reload pin alias - Reload the current .ppa pin alias file (need after edit .ppa file)
- Zoom in - Increase draw scale
- Zoom out - Decrease draw scale
-
