Input/Output (I/O) Ports Module

In Full Chip Simulation (FCS) mode, this module simulates all input and output functionality of the Input/Output (I/O) Ports module. FCS mode uses a set of designated commands to simulate the input and output activity on corresponding I/O port pins. To define an input state of a specific port, write the INPUT <x> <n> command in the Command window. The <x> represents the corresponding I/O port, while the <n> stands for the input value to write to this port. At the same time, you can use the INPUTS command to bring up the Simulated Port Inputs for all general I/O ports. It displays the current simulated values to all applicable input ports.

Figure 1. Simulated Port Inputs Dialog Box

Use the Simulated Port Inputs dialog box to reconfigure the input value to any I/O port. Use the INPUTS command to reconfigure the output values on any relevant I/O port. You can observe the manipulation of I/O port pins in the Memory window.

Note that if the regular I/O pins are multiplexed to be used by a different MCU Module, they might not be available for general I/O functionality.
