Proteus comes with well over 10,000 pre-supplied library parts. Please note that, like most companies, our support for older versions of our software is limited.ĭevice libraries in the schematic and the layout are the building blocks of any project and are a fundamental piece of CAD software.

Such customers can use the software they currently have indefinitely but will not be entitled to avail themselves of features and maintenance issues resolved in new releases. A physical system CD may be available on request from your local sales channel.Ĭustomers who do not have a valid USC or whose contract has expired will have to reactivate their contract in order to install and use software that were released subsequent to the expiry of their USC.

A modern business grade machine is therefore required to ensure adequate performance.

As a general rule, discrete graphics cards such as those from AMD (ATI) and NVIDIA will satisfy these requirements whilst chipset graphics such as those supplied by Intel will not.īy it's very nature, a Proteus VSM simulation involves executing a lot of instructions very quickly and a lot of fast signal switching in the circuit. This means that display of the screen is handled by Windows and not your graphics hardware and therefore that some features of the software will not be available and the performance could be adversely affected. In particular, note that if your graphics card does not satisfy the above requirements the software will run in Windows GDI mode.

Microsoft supported 64 bit Windows operating system.

Dedicated ATI or NVIDIA graphics card supporting OpenGL and Direct3D.
