Application generators speed up development of acquisition/analysis/control systems

Abstract

It is very easy to create your own sophisticated custom Data Acquisition, Analysis and Control Applications using Visual Designer, an application generator software which greatly enhances your productivity by allowing you to create these applications without writing programs. Developed by Intelligent Instrumentation Lnc. in Tucson, Arizona, LISA, a Burr-Brown Company, Visual Designer runs on any ISA/EISA machines under Windows 3. 1 ( DOS/V machines under Windows 3.15 now in Japan). You develop your application software in an integrated development environment, called Diagram, by drawing a block diagram, called FlowGram. The Diagram compiles this into an executable application file, called FlowCode and parameter file. The application FlowCode is then executed from Visual Designer's Run environment. The Run environment can be invoked directly from the Diagram, or it can be done as a stand-alone application. Thus you have your own Windows Application in a drastically short time. Visual Designer has been used in hundreds of applications around the world since its release in November of 1993. It has shortened the development time required for these applications to a fraction of time required by programming languages, either graphical or textual.<>
