Announcing StateCAD, a new Windows based tool for drawing and
translating state diagrams into ABEL HDL.

Coral Springs, FL - Visual Software Solutions is introducing StateCAD in
September of 1993. StateCAD is a Windows based graphical design entry tool
that generates synthesizable ABEL HDL from graphical state diagrams. The
software includes a drawing engine tailored to the rendering of state
diagrams, as well as a context sensitive validation unit that flags syntax
and logic errors graphically.

StateCAD generates error free ABEL HDL which may be input directly into the
ABEL compiler for simulation or device programming purposes. The generated
HDL can be either architecture dependent or independent. Direct entry of
ABEL code mixed with state diagrams is supported, allowing integrated
designs. StateCAD supports a rich variety of logic entry methods including
Mealy/Moore machines, complex array operations, combinatorial and
registered logic.

StateCAD makes a major leap forward in the CAD arena by providing
functionality available only on very expensive platforms. In today's money
conscious environment, Visual Software Solutions delivers an alternative
that improves time to market and substantially reduces costs.

"...StateCAD from Visual Software Solutions is an impressive, robust and
easy to use package that is fully compatible with ABEL 5.0. It's one of
those products you can pick up and start being productive without reading
the manual." -- Dave Kohlmeier, Director of Engineering for Data I/O's
Software Business

State machines generated with StateCAD can be exported to Windows compliant
applications for documentation purposes. StateCAD imposes no architectural
limitations on the number of states, transitions or logic required to
enter a state diagram. Much of the work done when annotating designs is
eliminated because diagrams drawn in StateCAD are the documentation.

StateCAD has been designed and optimized for state diagram entry. Special
features include defaulting to a known state, reset support and
integration of random logic with state machines. Interactive dialog boxes
report indeterminate conditions, syntax errors and incomplete portions of
state diagrams early in the design cycle, requiring no simulation.
Ergonomics has been a forefront issue at all times during product
development. A strong tutorial, extensive documentation, full on line help
and good indexing minimize the learning curve, and allow the product to be
used quickly, easily, and intuitively.

Price, Availability, and More Information
StateCAD is available now at the suggested retail price of $995.
