Design of host computer software for automatic computerized flat knitting machine

For the validity of host computer software for computerized flat knitting machine,this paper presents a design approach based on PC104 module and WinCE platform.This software analyzes pattern documents to get the control data,utilizes the PC104 bus to transfer them to the slave computer,simultaneously it accomplishes the data analysis,processing and display according to the field information and realizes the man-machine conversation.The multi-thread programming and modular design technologies are used and important modules firstly work.Application results prove that PC104 module′s powerful processing capabilities greatly reduce the burden of the slave computer.Compared with the traditional software,it is characterized by user-friendly,complete function,real-time,implantable,and high practical value.
