TABLE OF CONTENTS The content of the CD-ROM was developed with Windows XP, and has been verified as readable with Windows 2000. It has not been tested with other operating systems.
Its contents are organized in a series of directories:
Basic Micro Inc. has provided a free MBasic compiler, MBasic876, with all features of MBasic Professional, but restricted to program only 16F876 and 16F876A devices. An installation program, MBasic876_Setup, to add MBasic876 to your computer is contained in this directory. Launching MBasic876_Setup will start the installation process.
The directory MBasic\Documents contains the MBasic User's Guide and data sheets on Basic Micro's programming board and development and prototype boards.
Basic Micro's website, http://www.basicmicro.com/, has an active MBasic user's forum that I highly recommend.
Linear Technology Corporation has provided two programs for circuit simulation. Both programs were used in developing and illustrating the circuits in this book.
The directory Linear Technology Circuit Simulation Software\FilterCAD contains the installation program, FilterCADv300.exe, which installs FilterCAD version 3.00 on your computer. FilterCAD is a powerful tool for designing and simulation active filters.
The directory Linear Technology Circuit Simulation Software\SWCADIII contains the installation program swcadiii.exe, which installs a program called LTspice/SwitcherCAD III on your computer. This is a full-featured general-purpose electronic circuit simulation program. After installing LTspice, I recommend you use the automatic update feature to download the most recent version.
