Hi Scott,
I usually will have MPLAB open and develop there.  I goto tech tools to
compile and debug.  If you switch to MPLAB and make a change, tech tools
software detects it and asks if you want to recompile and download to the
emulator.  I was just so use to MPLAB, that is the way I do it.

There may be better emulators but being an individual funding it myself,
this was a lot less money and is night and day compared to not using one.
Since you have used one in the past, you know what I'm talking about.  When
I first started playing with PICs, it could take a week to debug a code
module that now takes minutes with the emulator.
Best wishes,
Fred
