Proteus Simulation Problem

[w_bwr]

Proteus v 7.8 SP2


I am trying to simulate a circuit, which consist of 18f452 with two inputs and LEDs as outputs.
Simulation don't run and gives this error. " NO HEX FILE"

But there is HEX file, I have tested it on an actual board and it works fine.


see the picture.

Double click the microcontroller in the proteus schematic and set the hex file location in the properties

I have already loaded the hex. But still giving error.

According to your image you have used the coff fie and can't be opened.
Make sure that the path is correct.
Also try with the hex file.

I tried the Hex file. Result is same.

See the picture.

Do not use path in the properties window.
Simply write this:
test_int.hex
(or test_int.cof if you have it)

 

[alexan_e]

The path is not a problem if it is the correct one.
If the file is in the same folder as the proteus file then you can just use the hex or coff name.

test_int.hex
(or test_int.cof if you have it)

Thnx, that did it.

I copied my files to the "Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 7 Professional\BIN" folder and it works.

I don't get how you were using a wrong path when there is a dialog to select the file!

The BIN folder is not the correct place to have your file.
Create a project folder and place both the proteus project file and the hex there, then just use the hex name without path.
This is the only way to ensure portability.

I wasn't using the wrong path. My Proteus file and the hex weren't in the same folder. This was the problem.
