New Version of Graphical FPGA Programming Tool

With the current version 1.2, the graphical FPGA programming tool VisualApplets enhances its functionality for about 100 new operators. Focuses of the new version are extensions of the graphic user interface and the functional libraries. Users with an extensive use of complex image processing designs are supported by an updated interface for the design space and the project administration. The existing libraries were extended by new functions. Especially operators for image corrections and enhancements, new synchronisation and filter operators were added. As a focus of version 1.2, two new image processing libraries were implemented. The first library covers operators for the statistic processing of images and can be used e.g. for measuring applications with 3D laser triangulation method. The second library covers signal processing operators.
