The demo version offers all the features of the TDL:VisualCreator tool suite as in the product version. The demo version of the Chrona VisualCreator tool suite comprises the visual/interactive TDL editor, the Chrona TDL:Compiler and the Chrona TDL:Machine for MATLAB®/Simulink®. So you can simulate your models. But you can also save and load them and there is no limit regarding the size of your models.
The only thing you cannot do with the demo version of the Chrona VisualCreator tool is to generate the code for a specific (distributed) platform. For that purpose, you need the Chrona VisualDistributor tool and the product version of the Chrona VisualCreator tool suite. Remember that TDL and the TDL tools guarantee that the modeled and simulated behavior of TDL components is identical to the behavior of these TDL components on a specific platform.
The format in which your models are stored in the demo version is 'one-way compatible' with the product version. This means, that the product version of the Chrona VisualCreator tool suite can read your models from the demo version, but not the other way around. In other words, if you want to deploy your model on a specific platform, you can easily switch from the demo version to the product version and use all the models you have developed.
Start the simple download and installation process
- Request download ticket. You'll receive then an email with a link pointing to the downloadable .exe-file (about 7 MB).
- Install Chrona's VisualCreator tool suite. The downloaded executable contains the installer application which includes the Chrona VisualCreator tool, documentations and sample Simulink® models. It typically takes not more than 10 minutes to install the Chrona VisualCreator tool, provided you have already installed MATLAB®/Simulink®.
Following the Guided Tour from scratch takes about 1 hour. The Guided Tour is part of the tool documentation that comes with the download.
Note: You can also use the Chrona VisualCreator tool suite stand-alone, that is without MATLAB®/Simulink®. In this case, you can define the TDL components in a visual/interactive way, but you cannot simulate them. In the stand-alone context the functionality has to be provided as C code.
