Stardraw Control has been developed to create customised user interfaces that can control any product from any manufacturer over any protocol including TCP/IP, Infra-Red, RS232, DMX, UDP, EtherSound and CobraNet The interfaces created are compiled to a single .exe file that can be deployed and run on any windows device, from touchscreen to TabletPC to PC, while support for multiple interface devices (that offer, for example, TCP/IP to IR, RS232 to IR, TCP/IP to RS232 etc) allows users to select from a wide range of components to create an integrated control system.
Stardraw Control's property-based programming interface means that users can define any control UI, catch any event, and specify any action without having to write any code or understand any programming language.
Fully functional demo control programmes can be compiled at no cost and deployed for demonstration, testing and approval. Stardraw Control's debug utility lets the user view all events and track errors as the programme is running, taking the guesswork out of debugging a system.
Recent enhancements introduced to the release version of Stardraw Control include: all-new Topology View with fast drag/drop connections, auto-routing and rubber-banding; New Product Wizard to allow creation of new controllable products in a few mouse clicks, andActions Wizard - a new and more intuitive interface to make system programming faster and easier.
