Microcontroller Prototyping System: Platform and Components
8.3 MPSVisualisation
The MPSVisualisation component provides:
• host window to display status
• a frame buffer
• MPS front panel and internal switches.
The MPSVisualisation component can generate events when the touchscreen is used.
At startup, if connected to a suitable platform model, the visualization presents a window with
a status bar containing many of the visual components of the platform. Figure 8-1 shows the
MPS_Visualisation component in System Canvas.

Figure 8-2 on page 8-8 shows the Color LCD (CLCD) in operation. The screen is divided into
three sections:
• A representation of the Microcontroller Prototyping System front panel. This includes the
character LCD, LEDs and push buttons present on the physical MPS platform. The
buttons on the front panel of the MPSVisualisation component are described in Table 8-8
and can be controlled by clicking on them with the mouse.
• A combined panel presenting the character LED display and dip-switches present inside
the Microcontroller Prototyping System, control of the SD Card interface and the normal
model visualization status and rate-limit control.
• A CLCD connected to the Microcontroller Prototyping System. This is currently not
provided in the initial release of the Microcontroller Prototyping System hardware.
