HEW Target Server
(HTS) is an easy to use Windows COM object which provides a powerful interface
between a Windows Application and the Renesas Development Software (HEW).
In this example, a
Windows program operates a motor controller. The link from GUI to controller is
done over the USB debugging link. No communication hardware was added to the
design. The GUI sends commands to the controller and gets status back such as
RPMs and current.
