Stimulus is mostly used to stimulate the hardware signals that it is possible to use stimulus to inject data into and trace data out of general purpose registers to verify correct algorithm operation.

Here is an overview of the steps to use MATLAB plug in for MPLAB IDE. Select tools – MATLAB Simulink from the main menu. The MATLAB Simulink will then be added to the main menu.

MATLAB is a very widely used model based design tool. Microchip’s MPLAB IDE has a plug in capable of importing source files generated by real time workshop component of MATLAB.

This video will show you how to get MPLAB ICD3 connected and debugging for the first time. The target device that will be debugged is the PIC18F85J11 inserted into a PICDEM HPC Explorer board.

The debugging allows to check the value of variables at various points in the program and to check the routines requested results. MPLAB IDE (Integrated Development Environment) has been created by Microchip and it is an integrated tool-set for the development of embedded applications.
