| + | The Zbrain System core team of Schmid Engineering visited the National Instruments annual worldwide | ||
| + | embedded system conference from Aug. 1. to Aug. 4. in Austin Texas. Visiting official threads, | ||
| + | participating closed door sessions and meetings with RnD, marketing and management provided a deep | ||
| + | insight of present and future projects related with embedded products. With this newsletter we would like | ||
| + | to share the news with our mutual customers. < | ||

| + | <!-- NI products | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | The C-Code generating engine is part of the following products: <br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <b>NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for Analog Devices Blackfin</ | ||
| + | This module has been used to program most of the Zbrain System Targets. <br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <b>NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ARM Microcontrollers.</ | ||
| + | This module can be used to program tiny intelligent nodes with manageable complexity. <br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <b>NI LabVIEW Microprocessor SDK</ | ||
| + | Used to program any 32bit microprocessor. <br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <b>NI LabVIEW C Generator</ | ||
| + | Used to translate VIs to standard ANSII C-Code deployable on virtually any microprocessor. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <!-- Labview on Microprocessor | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | In collaboration with National Instruments, | ||
| + | all ZBrain targets. This module is using the c code generating engine with all its exciting new | ||
| + | features. | ||
| + | This NI ANSI-C-Code-Generator is a long-term NI product that will also get the full NI support in the | ||
| + | next versions of LabVIEW< | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | The following toolkits are now supported by the c generating engine: <br> | ||
| + | <a | ||
| + | href=" | ||
| + | LabVIEW Statechart Module | ||
| + | </a> <br> | ||
| + | <a | ||
| + | href=" | ||
| + | LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module | ||
| + | </a> <br> | ||
| + | <a | ||
| + | href=" | ||
| + | LabVIEW MathScript RT Module | ||
| + | </a> <br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | A VI, dropped on a block diagram, is automatically syntax checked with all its sub VIs. <br> | ||
| + | If you drop a vi that would not be supported by the c generating engine, a warning is shown. Math script | ||
| + | is checked likewise. <br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | The C Code produced by this next generation C code generating engine is more efficient and more | ||
| + | readable. <br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | A big part of these improvements have been achieved by eliminating the parallel execution that produced | ||
| + | inefficient code with considerable overhead. All the code will be executed sequentially. However, Schmid | ||
| + | Engineering will provide solutions to execute program parts parallel in different threads. | ||
| + | allowing to run code with restrictive realtime constraints (eg. Control loop) along with slower | ||
| + | tasks (eg. GUI). <br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | The c generating engine has no need anymore for a microprocessor specific target specification in the | ||
| + | project explorer. You always write your code in the "My Computer" | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | It will be possible to move existing code to the new environment. The SDK VIs from the 2009 Zsystem palette | ||
| + | will be supported by the 2011 and future versions of LabVIEW. Accessing of the IO will be done the same | ||
| + | easy way as today. Both environments (2009 and 2011/12...) can coexist on the same computer. | ||
| + | Existing code can be maintained in 2009 while developing new projects with the latest LabVIEW | ||
| + | version. <br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | In addition to the current standard targets ( | ||
| + | <a href=" | ||
| + | <a href=" | ||
| + | and <a href=" | ||
| + | ) and customized targets, Schmid Engineering will now be able to support more processors and targets to | ||
| + | enhance its hardware portfolio. In the near future, Schmid Engineering will release even smaller modules | ||
| + | with lower costs and lower power consumption as well as modules with higher performance. <br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | Existing customers get anindividual upgrade offer based on your current serial number, LabVIEW Version | ||
| + | and SSP status, valid until january 31st of 2012. This offer includes upgrading to LabVIEW 2011 and the | ||
| + | standard NI ANSI-C-Code-Generator that is tweaked to the ZBrain targets with its ADI Blackfin processors. | ||
