Proton IDE

Next Generation IDE

Proton IDE is a professional and powerful visual Integrated Development Environment (IDE) which has been designed specifically for the Proton Plus compiler. Proton IDE accelerates product development in a comfortable user environment without compromising performance, flexibility or control.

Feature Summary

Code Explorer
Possibly the most advanced code explorer for PIC based development on the market. Quickly navigate your program code and device Special Function Registers (SFRs).

Integrated Bootloader
Quickly download a program into your microcontroller without the need of a hardware programmer. Bootloading can be performed in-circuit via a serial cable connected to your PC. Supported devices include 16F870, 16F871, 16F873(A), 16F874(A), 16F876(A), 16F877(A), 16F87, 16F88, 18F242, 18F248, 18F252, 18F258, 18F442, 18F448, 18F452, 18F458, 18F1220, 18F1320, 18F2220, 18F2320, 18F4220, 18F4320, 18F6620, 18F6720, 18F8620 and 18F8720.

Real Time Simulation Support
Proteus Virtual System Modelling (VSM) combines mixed mode SPICE circuit simulation, animated components and microprocessor models to facilitate co-simulation of complete microcontroller based designs. For the first time ever, it is possible to develop and test such designs before a physical prototype is constructed. The Proton Plus Development Suite comes shipped with a free demonstration version of the PROTEUS simulation environment and also a number of pre-configured Virtual Hardware Boards.

Serial Communicator
A simple to use utility which enables you to transmit and receive data via a serial cable connected to your PC and development board. The easy to use configuration window allows you to select port number, baudrate, parity, byte size and number of stop bits. Alternatively, you can use Serial Communicator favorites to quickly load pre-configured connection settings.
