<p>The invention relates to methods and devices to define and control the design of a configurable chip module, instrument or systems, for example, for measurement, control and communication systems (for example, for biomedical applications), or any part thereof. The module may include one or a plurality of chip elements. This can be achieved using, for example, a Graphical User Interface (GUI), by transforming selections made by the user to a hardware and/or software configuration for the system in a process transparent to the user. This enables implementation of a plurality of devices and larger subsystems, for example, measuring devices and subsystems, directly on a chip or a chip module without specific semiconductor design know-how from the user. This transformation process is thus accomplished transparent to the user, who operates the GUI only, and defines the measurement or action which needs to be performed (such as patient treatments); and which, in turn, results in an automatic combination of hardware and/or software elements available to create a specific configuration.</p> |
