Abstract
A method for system simulation, which is distinguished by a first sequence of steps for simulating a microcontroller/microprocessor and peripheral modules using predetermined signal patterns and by a second sequence of steps for interrogating and evaluating system states that are brought about by the simulation. In order to carry out the second sequence, the first sequence is interrupted as dictated by markers that have been inserted into the first sequence, and the second sequence is executed in an accelerated operational mode that has been adapted to the evaluation.
