E4Coder - Digitalclock Example with ScicosLab and SMCube State Machines
http://www.e4coder.com
(NOTE: long video - chapters below)
This video shows the Digital Clock demo available as one of the standard E4Coder Demos.
The demo is focused on SMCube, implementing a State Diagram of a Digital Clock that mimics the specification done by Harel in 1987.
The video shows the state machine design, including Hierarchical/Parallel states, AND/OR Superstates, Junction Points. The Data Model is shown, as well as a complete interactive simulation using the FLEX Demo Board Simulator.
