MPLAB® C18 (SW006011)

The MPLAB C18 compiler is a full-featured ANSI-compliant
C compiler for the PIC18 family of 8 -bit MCUs. MPLAB
C18 is a fully integrated component of Microchip’s MPLAB
Integrated Development Environment (IDE), allowing source
level debugging with the MPLAB ICD 2 in-circuit debugger,
MPLAB REAL ICE™ emulator and MPLAB SIM simulator. A
FREE 60-day demo of the MPLAB C18 compiler is available
at: www.microchip.com/C18.

MPLAB® Visual Device Initializer (VDI)

MPLAB VDI graphically confi gures the microprocessor and
peripherals, and when complete, generates code usable
in assembly language or C programs. MPLAB VDI does
extensive error checking on assignments and settings, and
generates and error message if there are confl icts on any
resources. Download VDI with MBLAB IDE at:
www.microchip.com/MPLAB.

Application Maestro™ Software

A stand-alone module tool used to confi gure and
incorporate a range of pre-written fi rmware modules
into PIC®microcontroller applications. Using a graphic
interface, select one or more modules, then confi gure
the parameters listed. The Application Maestro software
generates code that can be incorporated into the
application project, using MPLAB IDE or any compatible
development environment. Download at:
