Universal Emulation Configurator UEC for Advanced Trace Configuration

The Universal Emulation Configurator (UEC) is a device-independent tool, used to create trace-based debug and measurement tasks for on-chip emulators and powerful on-chip trace systems in a comfortable way.

The UEC allows users to graphically compose complete trace tasks using a library of basic configuration blocks. In this way, trace tasks starting from simple trace recordings up to complex trace tasks with state machines and complex conditions for issuing trace actions can be easily created.

The UEC hides the complexity of trace configuration. The user does not have to worry about the huge amount of settings normally required to configure a trace for complex multi-core microcontrollers. All this is done automatically.

  • Fast and simple definition of complex measuring tasks
  • Functional description of trace tasks in a user-friendly way
  • Simplifying complex configuration settings by providing meaningful configuration blocks
  • Easy composing of even complex trace configurations by means of state machines and conditions
  • Independent from the actual target and emulator hardware
