SPLat/PC provides simulation support for the onboard LCD:

  • Supports all LCD types.
  • Display simulation with 99% accuracy.
  • Special characters are all represented except X-bar, which does not exist in standard Windows fonts.
  • The OBLCD_ instructions are all simulated except OBLCD_GoIfBusyOBLCD_GoIfIdleOBLCD_WaitIdle.
  • OBLCD_RUT returns true if the simulated screen is open.
  • Access to the LCD through low level UV instructions is not supported, but UV gets modified in a realistic way by the high level OBLCD_ instructions.
  • Floating point formatting will produce minor discrepancies due to rounding and algorithm differences.
Versions of SPLat/PC prior to V7.15.1 did not have OBLCD simulation.
