The Evaluation Process

every feature of the graphical environment is available to script authors. Applications can be rebuilt, downloaded, and run from a simple script executed from the command line or from within a custom test harness framework. The automation API is supported by C++ and VBScript exam- ples for all API calls, though any automation-aware language can be used.

For prototype runs and/or small volume deployment, an Analog Devices emulator can be used to program the flash memory in your custom sys- tem. Accessible through the automation API, the flash programmer can be scripted, making it possible to develop a turnkey user interface for use by a production floor technician or other individual not familiar with Visu- alDSP++. Device drivers are provided for all flash devices found on EZ-KIT Lite products, and these drivers can be easily adjusted to support an arbitrary flash device.

Getting Help and Staying Up to Date

VisualDSP++ includes a comprehensive, indexed, searchable online Help system. In addition to information concerning VisualDSP++, manuals for Analog Devices processors, application notes, and more are included in the Help system. Versions of these documents (in .pdf format) are also available on the installation CD or online at:
