 Note that you can slow down execution speed using the Simulation Debugger window and monitor the values of variables in the same way as when you are using simulation. ICT is also available when running your program via ICD.

 When ICD is enabled you must re-program the target device to allow the ghost specific code to be loaded onto the target device. Once the device has been programmed, it will stay in a waiting state until Flowcode signals it to start running. Clicking the simulation run or step buttons in Flowcode will trigger the target device to react accordingly. Clicking the simulation stop button will reset the target device so that it restarts from the very start of the program. When disabling ICD you again need to re-compile and program the device to allow the ghost specific code to be removed from the program.
