CodeDesigner 25

Software Installation
The CodeDesigner software loads as most standard Windows software does.
Load the software on your computer’s hard drive according to the instructions
given with the software.
When CodeDesigner installs, it creates a subdirectory in the Program Files
directory. It places a CodeDesigner shortcut on the Start, Program menu in
Windows.

Setting CodeDesigner Options
In order for CodeDesigner to compile code and program the resulting code into
PIC microcontrollers, we need to configure the default locations where
CodeDesigner looks for its support programs. We set up the default locations
by entering the software paths where CodeDesigner stores programs, looks for
the PicBasic compiler and where to find the EPIC program.
Start the CodeDesigner software (see Fig. 4.1); the evaluation copy opens with
this version of the window. The next window is the standard opening screen to
the CodeDesigner software (see Fig. 4.2). To begin setting the options, click on
the Compile menu option and then on Compiler Options (see Fig. 4.3).
