Accutron
Blade™ For Application Development &
Production Control
Accutron Blade™
is an Integrated Development Environment
(IDE) designed to allow quick and easy development
of applications for our hardware systems.
This versatile software package is exclusively
supplied as part of our hardware solutions
& cannot be purchased separately. The
IDE provides a user friendly environment in
which to control and debug the connected hardware
modules using VBScript. These
solutions can then be deployed in a production
environment using the same Blade™ application.
It seamlessly integrates with the wide range
of advanced hardware features on our boards
and plug in modules. Users can develop additional
applications to control peripherals connected
to our hardware modules through the DIGITAL
I/O ports, I2C, CAN, Ethernet, Uarts, SPI,
SMBus, etc… Use Accutron Blade™
to develop powerful applications for JTAG
using our Extended Boundary Scan Control
Language (manage high speed boundary
scan operations and pattern commands in real
time).
Extended
Boundary Scan Control Language
This is a high level Accutron language which
is used to develop JTAG patterns in an easy
to
|
|
 |
read
format. The language also includes: digital
I/O control, clock configuration and clock
waits. The syntax resembles the C programming
language while supporting some useful features
such as: conditional compilation, source file
inclusion, defines, library functions, variables,
loops, user defined functions and comments.
The readable syntax is compiled and optimised
into pattern instruction format to facilitate
quick downloading and execution from pattern
memory. |

Accutron
Blade™ Reduces
Your Development Time
Accutron Blade™ software, combined with
Accutron’s flexible hardware solutions,
can dramatically shorten your software &
fixture development times. You can build a
system for your new product that is high performing,
scalable, reusable, and cost-effective. Don’t
spend valuable time trying to get the hardware
set up, our hardware modules connect seamlessly
to the Blade™ application. Engineers
can quickly start high level development using
the VB script templates using our built-in
libraries or they can simply copy and paste
our sample code directly into their applications.
We also have a range of templates for JTAG
applications using our Extended Boundary Scan
Control Language. You can develop & save
your own templates for your repeat applications.
Additional
Features
• Debug
on real hardware or in software simulation
mode.
• Debugger
supports breakpoints, conditional breakpoints,
single-step, watchpoints and symbols.
• Editor
supports working on different types of source
files simultaneously with syntax highlighting.
• Projects
are created easily with multiple test procedures.
• Test
procedures are easily created in a user friendly
graphic interface.
• The production
interface keeps track of the percenatage PASS/FAIL
for functional test applications. |

Blade™ has a user friendly integrated
development environment. The program operates
in development mode during which the developer
has access to all development files and editing
facilities. Development mode is password protected
for added security. In production mode the user
has access to finished applications and may
execute and read back the data. This is ideal
for 'production floor' situations. |
