−	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. 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.

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.

-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.
