Mouse operated switches, buttons and potentiometers can also be created using a similar mechanism but in reverse. This simple scheme allows all manner of animated components to be created without any need for programming. One of over 60 simple animated designs supplied with Proteus VSM, this animated capacitor designs shows an electrolytic capacitor being charged and discharged. The switch and the capacitor are both graphical component models. This support allows for relatively fast development of models for parts that would normally be considered too complex to model.
Microprocessors are a classic example of such parts.
These models have been designed to support variants such that whole families of chips can be modelled without undue duplication of source code. Work is currently underway to support further variants and also to develop a core for the Atmel AVR series. All our models implement a number of popup status windows for debugging, allowing your to inspect register values, internal memory contents and so forth. LCD model that models a number of alphanumeric and graphical LCD display panels.
