Variety of Instrumentation Controls - 60 total ActiveX controls plus 3 plotting components in your choice of 4 packages Instrument Pack Standard Instrument Pack Professional Instrument Ultra Pack Plot Pack Product Comparison Supported development environments - Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, Visual Studio .NET. Supported Operating Systems - Win 95/98/Me, Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 Works in most major HMI environments supporting ActiveX - Wonderware, Intellution, RSView32, Iconics, etc. - get our free demo and try with yours if not listed. Provide data to the controls from any source -- your code, other ActiveX controls, OPC servers, etc. To the controls, data is just a number/value - once you have the data in your program, you can pass it to these controls by setting properties or calling method. OPC Client Capability built into most of the ActiveX controls for direct connection to data sources. See controls list for details on which controls offer OPC capabilities. Connect to OPC Servers supporting the Data Access 1.x and 2.x specifications Product has been tested at an OPC Interoperability Workshop with a variety of 3rd party OPC servers - more info Intuitive Point and Click Configuration including item browsing Support for connecting to local and remote (via DCOM) OPC Servers Properties automatically update with live process data without any user code once connected to OPC server items For controls with user input enabled, the control can automatically write data to the OPC server - user input is easily disabled both at design and runtime to provide write-protection User configurable update rate (in millisecond units) on each control - tune performance to application needs OPC item connections can be programmatically added and removed using code for users wanting to create sophisticated applications that change their behavior at runtime based on operating conditions. Connect one or many properties to OPC items - for example - tie configuration settings for min/max ranges to OPC items to allow the control to adapt on the fly to changing conditions Developer Benefits Ease of configuration and use Reduced engineering time Faster time to completion for your projects Little expertise of OPC interface specifics and coding details required Affordable distribution licensing models available including runtime free distribution
