Development of a paper position simulator for an MFP
We have developed a lightweight simulator that can be easily used by programmers during MFP controller firmware development
Simulator Development
SILS
Industrial and consrmer equipment/facilities
Development
- Device emulation function on the paper path Simulation of the plant (paper path) with respect to firmware
which runs on the host PC (Windows) - Paper path settings function
- Settings function for device operations error on the paper path
- Control panel simulation function
- Paper position real time display function
- Graph display function for paper movement
Features
- Since it is a lightweight Windows application created in VisualStudio, the working of the firmware can be
repeatedly checked during coding - Since the working status can be displayed in real time, and multiple paper movements are diagrammatically
displayed as a graph, the paper position can be intuitively checked - Since the device arrangement (mechanical configuration) on the paper path can be specified in the settings file, the simulation of a variety of models can be supported
