Overview of Proteus Version 8.13
We are pleased to announce that Proteus Design Suite 8.13 has now been released. It can be downloaded from this page, check out the Download link below. Note that this version involves a file format change that is not backward compatible with older software versions.
- New features include Zone Inspector: Zone Inspector is a robust new analysis and management tool for power planes: Easily locate and tag planes on the layout.
- View plane configuration at a glance.
- Filter the view by layer and sort data.
- Edit plane settings and set draw order.
- Library Part Property Editing: We've enhanced our library management tools to allow direct property management of library parts in a simple spreadsheet view. Works together with the Manage Changes dialogue to apply changes to the master libraries to any given project.
- Design Walk: Design Walk is a new feature on the schematic that lets you follow a net through the various sheets. Users can select a net directly from the context menu on a schematic wire or pin and then use the PGUP and PG DOWN keyboard commands to cycle through the sheets on the schematic with the specified net tagged on each sheet. Alternatively, the context menu can be invoked again to navigate to a specific target sheet. More detailed net analysis can take place in the Design Explorer module as needed.
- Pre-Production Check: We've made some changes to the Pre-Production check-in in two main ways. First, we've made all of the checks selectable so that users can disable them for the current session if need be. Second, we've persisted in the last log so that errors can be worked through with the log as a reference. The log is clearly marked as invalid as soon as the project is changed and a new PPC run should then be made before creating any outputs from the system.
- Multi-Board Project Notes: The multi-board system introduced in Version 8.12 has been expanded to the reporting module so that board-specific reports can be generated as needed.
New library modules in Proteus 8.13
Today there are a lot of sensor modules that can not be found in the Proteus Library, However, these sensors and components are now been framed in a module format, and can be incorporated into the proteus library.
These Modules includes include:
- Arduino Library
- GSM module
- GPS module
- Flex sensor
- Vibration Sensor
- NudMCU
- Solar Panel
How to add these New library modules in Proteus 8.13:
- Download the latest version of the library using the download link below.Â
- Make sure you subscribe before in order to unlock the link to download.
- Extract the zip file in any of your drives
- Open the folder named Proteus_Libraries, and you will see the libraries and some folders that contain some libraries. These libraries in the folders have another file named HEX, this file will be needed during the simulation of these components.
- Copy the libraries starting from Arduino to Xbee. NOT the Folders.
- Head to your C Drive folder --- Program File(x86) --- Labcenter Electronics --- Proteus 8 Professional --- Data --- library, and paste all that you have copied.
- Now Enjoy your New libraries.
