pilation and assembler errors. MicroCode Studio lets you view
serial output from your microcontroller. It includes keyword-
based context-sensitive help, and also supports MPASM and
MPLAB.

It is easy to set up your compiler, assembler, and programmer
options, or you can let MicroCode Studio do it for you with its
built-in autosearch feature, as shown in Figure 3.8.

MicroCode Studio has support for MPLAB-dependent program-
mers such as PICStart Plus. Compilation and assembler errors can
be easily identified and corrected using the error results window.
Just click on a compilation error and MicroCode Studio will auto-
matically take you to the error line. MicroCode Studio even comes
with a serial communications window, allowing you to debug and
view serial output from your microcontroller.
