	==Component Creator==		==Component Creator==
	~~Panels and things.~~		* 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.
	~~Create~~ your own components~~, expanded~~ component library and ~~system components as well as dashboard HMI components~~

	~~You~~ can ~~create your own component using the [[Dashboard Panel]] - which is very effective at handling~~ components ~~controls such as~~ switches, ~~buttons, keypads~~ and ~~knobs etc~~. ~~The [[System Panel]] is a 3D real-world framework~~ and is ~~used as the main platform for creating~~ and ~~simulating components~~.		* 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==		==Simulation==
	~~Enhanced~~ simulation ~~- now with more~~ speed!		* Improvements in simulation speed means that your simulation works close to real time which allows you to verify your design ‘live’.
	API~~, Dashboard HMIs~~ and ~~Consoles~~
			* The powerful API allows control of simulation events and components providing a wide range of PC-side functions.

	~~Simultaneously simulate a program in 3D whilst also running it on hardware..~~.		* 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==		==Mechanical Support==
	~~All~~ the ~~support you could wish for~~.		* Import 3D models and characterise the movement and simulation using API.
	3D design environment - System Panel. Laster cutters and 3D printers, electromechanical system creation [[Supporting Third Party Programming Tools\|third party instrument support]] tight E-blocks integration

			* 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==		==Testing==
	~~Testing~~ and ~~all that good stuff~~		* Access readings and data from external instruments using DLL support. Display data with dashboard HMIs or third party software.
	~~Dashboard HMI~~, ~~softscope~~ and consoles
			* 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.

	~~Effective testing~~ and ~~debugging whhen simulating programs~~ in ~~ICD mode using intuitive [[In Circuit Debugging]] accompanied by~~ the ~~[[Simulation Debugger]] window~~ to ~~also monitor macro calls~~ and ~~variable values~~.		* 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.
