How to Download and Install Proteus Software on Windows?

Proteus is Software used to draw and design and integrate electronic circuits.  After designing circuits  by taking various parts like Switch, Microcontrollers, LED it also provides to simulate and test  designed  circuit. After testing in real-time  we can go to make this circuit practically in our physical world. If we talk about the history of this Proteus software the first version of Proteus (PC-B)  was made by John Jamesonthenthe chairman of Labcenter Electronics in 1988.  It has many libraries and features to design and simulate modern electronic gadgets.

Advantages of Proteus

1. It can be used to simulate and test physical devices.
2. It provides an interface to make circuits in Two -D and how we want to make it also provides this functionality.
3. It takes very less time to test any specific type of circuit compared to physical wire and devices. 
4. We can test many tools, and circuits that are very expensive in the physical world. 
5. There is no possibility of damaging any physical thing if the circuit is not designed perfectly.
