IAR Embedded Workbench is one of the most advanced C and Embedded C++ development tools in the market. Now IAR Systems introduces the professional edition of the IAR Embedded Workbench, which is not only an advanced compiler and debugger kit but also a drawing tool ─ for designing, testing and documenting the C/EC++ development.

· The graphical design tool represents any complex system with UML-based state charts, suitable for real-time systems with many concurrent and interrelated processes or execution threads.

· Detailed diagrams give an overview of the system structure

· Advanced testing and simulation facilities help to detect errors at an early stage of the software development process.
· The documentation tool saves developers valuable time and energy by generating well-structured system documentation automatically, either in RTF or HTML format.

The IAR Embedded Workbench Professional is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that meets the increasing demand for documentation at the engineering level without implementing large and complex modelling tools for the entire organization. Any engineer will be able to create an overview of his design, simulate and test its functionally, and most important, create the system documentation automatically.

"The final quality and market approval of any embedded application depends largely on the decisions made in the early design and validation phases of a development project. We are convinced that by offering tools that support and relieve embedded developers in this work, we can help infuse higher quality in many embedded application projects and thereby render our customers great market success" says Mats Ullström, Product Manager, IAR Systems.

IAR Embedded Workbench Professional will first be available for MSP430 and AVR; other targets will follow later in 2002.
