Proteus is a Virtual System Modelling and circuit simulation application. The suite combines mixed mode SPICE circuit simulation, animated components and microprocessor models to facilitate co-simulation of complete microcontroller based designs.
Proteus also has the ability to simulate the interaction between software running on a microcontroller and any analog or digital electronics connected to it. It simulates Input / Output ports, interrupts, timers, USARTs and all other peripherals present on each supported processor.
Creating printed circuit boards is a highly specialized task that requires not only solid knowledge in the area, but also a set of tools to get thew job done well and in good time. A software solution that was especially created for this purpose is Proteus PCB Design. Through a well organized interface, which hosts all the necessary tools and commands for building circuit boards and testing them, this application makes it clear that it is meant for advanced users, who have a good grasp on what this type of design is all about.
A simple method of getting started is to load one of the many sample that Proteus PCB Design comes with. This way you can view exactly what this program can be used for and how detailed is the perspective insofar as the schema design is concerned. The interactive simulations that can be started from Proteus PCB Design are also very helpful, just like the ability to view and edit the properties of every element on the board. The customizations go in depth for each item and there are several viewing options you can use to ease your work.
Besides the schematic capture mode that displays all the devices and their connections, there is another area you might be interested in, namely the 'Source Code' tab where you can make modifications at the most basic level for each element that is part of the loaded project. Graphs that are included in the design can be edited as well, simulated, verified and exported, while the debugging and simulation of the whole project is also possible. Templates can be edited and saved in a new form, if you need it. Overall, Proteus PCB Design demonstrates it is a strong contender and one of the best tools in its software category. It comes with a really strong feature pack and the numerous resources it bundles will surely prove helpful for all users.
