The webcast slides detail the latest upgrade to PrismTech's industry-leading Software Defined Radio (SDR) development tool, Spectra CX v3.4. Spectra CX v3.4 adds significant new functionality that further boosts the productivity of SDR application and platform developers. In particular, • The ability to generate Software Communications Architecture (SCA) compliant ANSI C code, which facilitates the development of 'C' language components for deployment on either general purpose processors (GPPs) or digital signal processors (DSPs), • Increased coverage of Spectra CX's compliance-testing features - for both SCA 2.2.2 waveform applications and SCA 2.2.2 Operating Environments (OEs), • The generation of compliance reports for SCA components, • Support for 64-bit host operating systems. Further information about Spectra CX v3.4 is available at: http://www.prismtech.com/spectra/products/spectra-cx
