New page

<sidebar>Sidebar: Flowcode Help Overview:NewInV6</sidebar>
There are many new and improved features in Flowcode, from the new Dashboard and System Panels to enhanced simulation, testing tools and an expanded component library.

See the [http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/resources/files/datasheets/FC6-datasheet.pdf Flowcode 6 Datasheet] on the [http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/ Matrix Multimedia website] for further information on the new features, additions and changes in Flowcode.

__NOTOC__
==Component Creator==
* Now you can design your own electronic components and add them to your component library. You can use simulation API calls to define the electrical behaviour and mechanical behaviour in simulation.

* The component library has been expanded considerably to include many new electronic components and simulation components. Components can be designed and shared on our website.

* In addition to PCB style components you now have access to panel mounted switches, meters and displays for industrial control.

* Customise or create Dashboard components like graphs, dials and meters to allow you to monitor how your system is functioning in simulation and In-Circuit Test.

==Simulation==
* Improvements in simulation speed means that your simulation works close to real time which allows you to verify your design ‘live’.

* The powerful API allows control of simulation events and components providing a wide range of PC-side functions.

* Human Machine Interface components show your system parameters during simulation and In-Circuit-Test using intuitive displays including meters, graphs, oscillograms and tables.

* Use text based consoles to see data passing around your system: perfect for designing systems with digital communications.

==Mechanical Support==
* Import 3D models and characterise the movement and simulation using API.

* Use the system panel to design your own simple 3D model. View your design from different angles whilst it simulates.

* Create low cost parts with laser cutters and 3D printers and see the parts working with your electronics on-screen.

* Create simulations of your model which move in 3D space under electrical stimulus from a microcontroller and other components in your system. Use 2D dashboard controls to monitor your system in real time.

==Testing==
* Access readings and data from external instruments using DLL support. Display data with dashboard HMIs or third party software.

* Use our new EB006 multiprogrammer to monitor every pin on your PICmicro design, and monitor and interpret serial data I/O.

* Monitor how your system is functioning in simulation and In-Circuit-Test. Use new components like graphs, meters, consoles and scrolling text boxes to verify your design.

* Use Softscope and Consoles to see data in waveform or textual formats. Use the API to translate incoming data to hex or ASCII equivalent. Link Softscope and consoles to third party hardware using DLLs to create a full SCADA system.
