Select the 'Clock Speed' option from the 'General Options' tab in the 'Project Options' window which can be accessed from the 'Build' menu (Build > Project Options > General Options) to change the speed of the simulation. This can be changed using the drop down menu which has options from 1000000 Hz to 40000000 Hz depending on the selected chip, you can also input a value manually by typing in the selected box.

The normal speed setting allows the simulation to at a good speed yet allowing the graphics to maintain a good refresh speed for animations etc. The as fast as possible speed setting allows the simulation code to run at max speed by backing off the graphics routines to allow for pure number crunching programs to run as fast as it can. Normally the as fast as possible setting should be avoided to allow the panels to react correctly to animations etc.

Simulation speed

Simulation speeds can vary from 0.25 Hz (or one simulation every 4 seconds) to 1000Hz (or one simulation every 0.001 seconds). This can be selected from the drop down options, or from the slider bar as seen in the Simulation Debugger window. When adjusting the simulation speed with the slider bar, you should note that the slowest speed is when the bar is towards the right hand side.

In 'Normal mode' Flowcode does not update the variables, call stack and microcontroller views whilst it is running, but any external component views do get updated. The normal speed is the default setting, and allows the simulation to at a good speed yet allowing the graphics to maintain a good refresh speed for animations etc.


Clock Speed (Hz)

Note: The Clock Speed option refers only to the speed of your hardware oscillator circuit. Changing this value will not alter the simulation speed.
