Hello ,
I havent been through emulators till now.
i need to know how the in circuit emulators work.
Can i emulate the code without my final pcb design ready on the emulator?
where should I download the HEX file while using emulator without my final target board .
where is the microcontroller(the one i will be using on my target board)present ,on the emulator board or some different module(board)which the emulator supports for a specific family
Is it possible for me to add periperals (like display ,a/d converter)from the module where the microcontroller is present using the i/o ports.
many low cost emulators have background debuggers .how much resources (code,data,i/o ports,interupts)are consumed by this background debuggers and wont it block the exeution of my actual code.

thanks in advance,
pravin
