Like the free version, ezSystem Standard consists of two programs,
the ezCircuit Designer, and CoreChart. This program requires .NET Framework V4.0 or higher in order to run. The sections below list the
features of the Standard version of ezSystem:
The Programmer circuit group allows in-circuit programming
connectors to be added to the design. Users can also add their
own circuits that can be re-used and distributed to other users
by means of a graphical wizard.
ezCircuit Designer has three major outputs: the documents, the
hardware schematics and the test program for the micro-controller
Formatted documentation structures are given to help with
Specification, Management and Design Documentation. Pin
Settings, Parts Lists and Test Procedures are automatically
generated and updated. An overall project summary shows all the
project files currently contained in the project folder.
The final hardware diagrams can be exported to Proteus Lite
schematics in a single step or graphical files of the circuit can
be generated. Printing is flexible with check-boxes to print
each section.
Each of the circuits comes with software drivers that are
formatted into micro-controller test programs for the user. Hence
a single click export to the Assembler or CoreChart Graphical
Assembler generates a step-by-step test sequence that formats
all necessary connections and variables. The programmer
can then concentrate on the algorithm needed for the product.
Complete Data Sheets are available for each chip and ezCircuit
Designer can suggest a chip based on the circuit blocks
currently in the design. A graphical oscillator setting wizard
allows easy clock settings for each chip.
Three working example projects are provided to help the user
become familiar with the system. The Help Section includes a
description of all the available functions as well as the
example projects.
For a full range of chips you can upgrade CoreChart to
CoreChart Professional. In combination with elabtronics'
development hardware or other microcontroller programmers,
CoreChart provides powerful functions and features that allow
users to:
develop programs by simply adding relevant icons (each icon
corresponds to an assembly instruction)
assemble the source files (.asm) from the icon instructions
and program the chip in one go.
One of the powerful features of CoreChart is the "Send to PIC"
function under the Options menu. This function converts the
CoreChart program into a source (.asm) file, assembles and
compiles it into a hex file and then brings up the "IC-Prog"
program loaded with the corresponding hex file ready to be
programmed to the microcontroller.
CoreChart runs under most of the Microsoft Windows Operating
Systems (2000, NT, XP, Vista, 7).
