Windmill Graphics: Process Mimic Generator

Features

Create your own display and control windows with Windmill Graphics. This program customises the Windmill software suite, making a versatile system that is unique to your application. The window continuously reflects the state of the system in the real world. Once you've created a window you can protect it from further editing. You can make the display a simple front end, or show enough detail to keep the most data hungry happy. Virtual instruments, process mimics, annunciator panels, wiring diagrams... it's entirely up to you.

To use Windmill Graphics you just:

1. Create a background in any painting package supporting bitmaps, Windows Paint for example.
2. Open the bitmap in Windmill Graphics and double-click the mouse where you want live text or graphics to appear.
3. Choose the type of live item and set its options.
4. Switch to protected run mode and see the window come to life, continuously updating with real-world data.

There is no programming required.

Eight types of live item are available:

• Analogue meters
• Moving bars
• Changing icons (eg open and closed valves)
• Input values with colour-coded alarms
• Time and date labels
• Analogue control buttons
• Digital control buttons
• Program control buttons
