Small system design - when designing systems based on small PIC MCUs like power supplies, sensors, alarms, simple communication units, robots, controllers, toys etc, the PIC-MU-BETA will cut the time required for firmware development to only a fraction.
Designers can focus on new features of their products rather than spend time searching for silly bugs like forgotten data bank select bit.
When working on complex systems with distributed intelligence using more than one microcontroler, why not to use more emulators?.

The price of PIC-MU-BETA allows makes this solution viable, so the debugging of tasks like interprocessor communication will no longer be a nightmare.
It is an excellent tool for efficient teaching of embedded microcontroller technology, enabling students to quickly learn the processes inside the microcontrollers.
Why waste time by describing the behaviour of a 'black box' when you can demonstrate everything absolutely clearly, on real circuits in real time?.
Advanced technical features of this PIC emulator include its extreme flexibility, which is due in part to the PIC-MU-BETA being based on state-of-the-art programmable gate arrays.
This solution is far more flexible and offers more functionality than the 'traditional' specially manufactured bond-out chips solution.
The analogue peripherals are designed to be compatible with the ones found on the original PIC MCUs, which means that users can have confidence that their circuits will work.
And, as all device resources are available for the user's application, PIC-MU-BETA offers excellent device resource accessibility even when running at full application speed.
So users do not have to stop the real-time run to watch and modify the device registers, making it really nonintrusive.
Another excellent feature is that low voltage applications are not a problem with PIC-MU-BETA.
Target application supply voltage can be as low as 2V and the emulator will still work fine.
There are no obvious 5V only limitations.
The default device socket on the PIC-MU-BETA is DIP, but SMA headers are also available as an added option.
Software operates under Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2K/XP.
