ST7-EMU3
series emulator
Introduction
Thanks for choosing ST7! This manual will help you set up and start using your ST7-EMU3
emulator.
The ST7-EMU3 emulator is the latest generation of ST7 emulators. In combination with the
ST7 debugging and programming software, it gives you unprecedented control of
application development - from building and debugging your applications to programming
your ST7 microcontroller.
The ST7-EMU3 emulator gives you start-to-finish control of application development by
providing you with emulation and in-circuit communication (ICC) configurations. The ST
Micro Connect box is your common hardware interface for emulation and in-circuit
debugging and programming.
In the emulation configuration, your emulator’s probe and ST7 Visual Develop (STVD7)
software allow you to build and debug your application software. This configuration gives
you the most complete range of debugging features, including advanced breakpoints and
performance analysis.
In the in-circuit communication configuration, the ICC Add-on and STVD7 allow you to
debug your application while it runs on your ST7, and to program your ST7 microcontroller
with ST7 Visual Programmer (STVP7).
