This approach to embedded system design is a super-set of " applications. IN LAYMEN'S TERMS Graphical system design is an approach to designing an entire system, using more intuitive graphical software and off-the-shelf (non-custom) hardware devices to refine the design, create initial prototypes and even use for the few run of deployments. I have seen this approach successful with companies that need to get something to market quickly (medical video: or with a team of non-embedded experts like Boston Engineering [http://www.boston-engineering.com/spotlight.htm to create a mechatronics ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechatronics_engineering]) -based machine. GRAPHICAL SYSTEM DESIGN RE: ESL
TOOLS Graphical system design relies on open connectivity. For example, tools that can be used in the design phase include (in alphabetical order): Ansoft Designer , AutoCAD , CarSim , DOORS , Dymola , LabVIEW , Matlab , MSC.Adams , MultiSim , SolidWorks , SPICE . The prototyping stage is more about taking algorithm design and implementing them on hardware for higher quality designs. An effective prototyping platform includes a high-level language, real-time processors, FPGA logic, modular I/O and any Intellectual Property needed. The deploy stage is mostly about hardware - where you put your design in the final stage. This may involved MPU s or FPGAs. EXAMPLES Examples of engineers and scientists applying graphical system design techinques include:
