Installing Proteus-ISIS: Computer simulation (virtual electronics laboratory) based on SPICE algorithms |
||
Proteus is a virtual laboratory, a SPICE based electrical simulator. Its advantage for our courses is that you can simulate both analogue and digital circuits based on classic components and also microcontrollers.
You as EETAC student have to download and install the current professional version in your home or portable computer and run our cloud licence.

As a beginner, you can set up a typical installation on your PC. Do not import or merge libraries or styles. Below on this page, you will find examples of how to avoid starting from scratch with your schematics and simulations. It is much better and time-saving to copy and adapt from an existing circuit.
