I am in general very happy with the property editor, but it does have room for improvements. In this case I edit a table within a table. First the list of events and on each Event a list of Parameters. It works fine, but the editor get very messy to look at. I have a…
This is an early version of the 2 navigators I want to add. Both are located as folders on the left tool bar for now. Tools, Navigator and Document are selectable on the left toolbar. The “Navigator” show a selection of repository content that is needed to navigate between diagrams or diagram content. It will…
This diagram is absolute nonsence, but it is actually valid. like you can write rubbish code in any language you can do s with diagrams as well. I think the compiler will pick on this due to parameter conflicts, but yet again – these are made by you. This was just a mock up I…
Just testing the diagrams in BSA and realizing (yet again) that the mini-editor I was happy with for small description texts will be a big failure on editing source code. Modern source code editors have so many features I miss in the mini editor + the editor is not easy to use for this purpose…
I only lack Legend and Plot line component to make a plot as I made the rest as part of the Linear gauge. Drawing a line on screen is easy. Drawing a line with thousands of points at 60 FPS (Frames per sec) is not easy. The issue is that data arrives at the CPU…
Picture from testing Linear Gauges and playing around… I won’t recommend making a bar plot the way I did over to left, but funny that I can. Just playing around with various gauge setting to test. This one actually took a bit of time due to all the options included – and still I haven’t…
This shows a simplified BSA Workflow. So far I have mostly blogged about the BSA Designer that will read and write a project repository – or more exact an xml file. The content of this file is used by BSA Compiler to generate Errors or Target Source Code. Source Code is generated towards a target…
This picture shows two Linear Gauges created as User Controls. I have not added the linear slider yet, but these are examples of assembling individual controls as a new user controls. The User Control itself is just a shaped background and all HMI components over that will be part of the user control. In this…
This took me < 2 min to set up and is just a simple Modbus demo. ComLink1 is a serial port connected to com3 in this case. The component has an auto option that allows it to always be connected that I use in this case. ModbusTable1 define parts of a Modbus map – in…
This shows the Standard Circular Gauge. Starting from left I only show the needle and add component by component – in this case by enabling a checkbox. Background is made half transparent, something all colors support. This is a standard Draw, Drop & Use gauge in case yoiu don’t want the extra fuzz of creating…
