September 8, 2010 – Foster City, CA – IAR Systems® today announced its participation at the Embedded Systems Conference in Boston, Booth 514, from Sept. 20-23, 2010. IAR Systems will demonstrate its power debugging technology within IAR Embedded Workbench® for ARM®/Cortex™ intended to aid the development of low power embedded applications. The demonstration of IAR Embedded Workbench will feature analysis of the software’s influence on power consumption and provide developers with the means to optimize source code to minimize power consumption.

Power measurements can be visualized in various ways in IAR Embedded Workbench. In its simplest form a power log window displays the measured current and the time and location of the program counter when it was sampled.

The power profiling is done at a function level, letting the developer know how much power is consumed during the execution of each function, and what the average current is during its execution.
