What is an In-Circuit Emulator?

The emulator (also known as ICE) is the most powerful tool for microprocessor and microcontroller application development. The emulator is a piece of equipment which is plugged into the circuit under development in place of the processor to be emulated. The emulator behaves like the real processor, with the only difference that you can inspect and modify everything inside the microcontroller even while the application is running at full speed. You can stop the execution of the program when certain conditions are met, run the program step by step, know which were the latest instructions executed and use many other sophisticated functions.

MU Beta and MU Alpha PIC emulators have been discontinued and sold out. Information about these products is still available in our Museum.
