Source Browser

MicroSim has a tab in its program dedicated to viewing the PIC application code. This tab is called the "Source Browser" tab, the first tab at the top of MicroSim.

Source Code Viewer

Once a program has been loaded into the simulator (see file loading) we can view the source code in the source browser tab under the source code component. Only symbolic COD files created using the gpasm assembler will be loaded into the source code window as .COD files refer to the original .asm file. Hex files carry no information of which file contained its ASM code and cannot be loaded into the source code browser.

Breakpoints can also be added to instructions in the source code browser. To see how to do this, go the the program execution page.

History List

Also located under the "Source Browser" tab is a history list. The history list maintains the most recently executed instructions with the last instruction executed found at the bottom of the history list. The list can be cleared by clicking the "Clear History List" button.
