TAS3308 Software Installation
TAS3308 Software Installation
The TAS3308 is programmed and configured using PurePath Studio. This PurePath Studio is composed
of a graphical development environment (GDE), the integrated development environment (IDE) and the
component publisher. The GDE permits the user to program TAS3308 using predefined signal processing
components that are placed and connected graphically on the GDE pallet. PurePath Studio runs on a
Windows® XP computer.
The IDE is software development environment that permits the user to construct and test the code for a
new GDE component.
The component publisher is used to create the component, define the component’s control interface and
