How do I enable stopwatch in Mplab?

Open the Stopwatch tool window by selecting Window->Debugging->Stopwatch on the MPLAB® X task bar. Using the source code window, generate two break points—one on line 19 and the other on line 20, as shown in Fig. 1. Next, select the properties icon on the top right of the Stopwatch window.

What is timer in PIC microcontroller?

Timer is nothing but a simple binary counter that can be configured to count clock pulses(Internal/External). Once it reaches the Max value, it will roll back to zero setting up an OverFlow flag and generates the interrupt if enabled.

What is Mpsim?

MP-Sim is a simulator framework for MATLAB and Octave.

What is the most appropriate criterion for choosing the right microcontroller of our choice?

9. What is the most appropriate criterion for choosing the right microcontroller of our choice? Explanation: For choosing the right microcontroller for our product we must consider its speed so that the instructions may be executed in the least possible time.

What is the need of timers in PIC microcontroller?

Timers are mainly used for counting or measuring external events. For example in the case of a visitor counter, the sensor placed for detecting the presence of a person goes high when someone crosses the door. The output of the sensor is connected to the Timer Clock Input Pin of the microcontroller.

What is prescaler in PIC microcontroller?

A prescaler is an electronic counting circuit used to reduce a high frequency electrical signal to a lower frequency by integer division. The purpose of the prescaler is to allow the timer to be clocked at the rate a user desires.
