SPLat is an Australian developed family of controller products aimed at the serious user who needs to get results quickly and reliably. The primary application area is in controlling small machines that require timing, sequencing and similar control logic. SPLat is being used in a considerable number of volume manufactured products, mainly in Australia and the US.

SPLat is designed to be extremely easy to use. It features a proprietary language that has been optimised for controller applications, and SPLat provide a huge selection of training materials. A non-programmer can have a simple program going in 2-4 hours after opening the box. All SPLat products have real- world input and output circuits for interfacing to solenoid valves, industrial sensors etc.

SPLat features a very simple programming system called FastTrack. FastTrack is a 14 instruction sub-set of the full repertoire of over 400 instructions. With FastTrack you can program simple machine sequences very easily.

Have you ever tried writing a program to control a small machine, maybe a robot, and been totally defeated by the problems of making the program do several things at once? All SPLat controllers come with a built in multitasking system called MultiTrack. With MultiTrack you can have up to 32 separate programs running at once. To use MultiTrack you need to learn just five more instructions on top of FastTrack. That means with a repertoire of less than 20 instructions you will be programming sophisticated multitasking machine controls with sequencers, timing and interlocks.

And the other 400 instructions? Once you throw away the trainer wheels you have:
 

• floating point arithmetic for sophisticated calculations,
• lookup tables for scale conversions,
• an extensive set of display commands for the LCD (where fitted),
• timing calculations,
• simple and quadrature counting,
• non-volatile memory

The SPLat language produces extremely compact "byte code" (like Java does). In a typical control task SPLat code takes about one ninth the space of a competitor's multitasking C. SPLat controllers have about 25K of user program space and 250 bytes of RAM free and clear for program variables.
