Most software engineers do not simulation concept, because there is no software emulation to say, but in a prototype software development to say, it is somewhat similar to this prototype simulation.
Simulation, by definition, is the real thing, and really almost. This is just an idea, if a fake can become really, really do not need a. The simulation is to use hardware or software to simulate hardware products to complete the design and development process. Our software development prototype role in this regard, the general software development, in order to exchange business and client side, or to facilitate internal communications project team will do a prototype or demo program, this prototype is a simulation program, but does not function complete, the interface is very rough. Emulation hardware development and this is also about the same, but the hardware in the hardware simulation there is an important call simulator, this simulator can help engineers hardware debugger, simulators are generally more expensive, so some people will use software emulation, simulation many software, should be regarded as the most famous proteus, almost no hardware engineers do not know, but also the electronic students must master, this software is very powerful, can simulate a lot of chips, I suggest that you be sure to find out. The software installation is also very convenient, there are many online examples. But not all of the chips can proteus simulation, simulation of the effect of another is not a hundred percent, so be sure to combine software simulation, hardware simulation and hardware debugging and testing repeated.
