The Real-Time Graphics Tools for Windows Apps toolkit, entirely written using C# managed code, is for developers who want to add sophisticated real-time graphics to their Unviversal Windows Platform - based applications. The software integrates the QCChart2D charting software with real-time data structures and specialized rendering routines. It is designed for on-the-fly rendering of the real-time data using new specialized classes for scrolling graphs, gauges (bar graphs), meters, annunciators and text. Plot objects created using the QCChart2D classes can be freely mixed with the new Real-Time Graphics Tools for Windows Apps classes. Advanced user interface features such as zooming and tool-tips can used with real-time scrolling charts. A process variable class manages real-time data, an unlimited number of alarms, and data archiving. A PID (Proportional, Integral and Derivative) control class implements sophisticated control algorithms applicable in a wide array of applications. Real-Time displays can be sent to supported output devices at the resolution of the device, creating presentation quality printouts, slides, or transparencies.

Feature Summary

Includes the QCChart2D Charting Tools for Windows Apps - The Real-Time Graphics Tools for Windows Apps includes the complete QCChart2D Charting Tools for Windows Apps.

Visual Studio 2015 - The software is compatible with Visual Studio 2015, and higher. All example program projects are in Visual Studio 2015 format. Since Visual Studio 2015 from Microsoft is free, anyone can upgrade to it..

64-bit Compatible - The software will run as 32-bit on Windows 32-bit operating systems and as 64-bit on Windows 64-bit operating systems. This is a feature of programs and libraries written using .Net (Version 2.0 or greater) in general.

Based on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) Retained Graphics Drawing Framework - Compatible with Windows App components and applications.

100% Managed .Net Code - The software is entirely written in C#, resulting in provide better performance and scalability. Managed .Net code makes applications easier to deploy and maintain.

Process Variable and Alarms - Real-time data is stored in RTProcessVar classes. The RTProcessVar class is designed to represent a single process variable, complete with limit values, an unlimited number of high and low alarms, historical data storage, and descriptive strings for use in displays.

Single Value Indicators - A single value indicator is a real-time display object that is attached to a singleRTProcessVar object. This includes single channel bar indicators (which includes solid, segmented, custom and pointer bar indicators), meter indicators (which includes meter needles, meter arcs and meter symbol indicators), single channel annunciator indicators, panel meter indicators and scrolling graph plots based on aQCChart2D SimplePlot chart object.

Multiple Value Indicators - A multiple value indicator is a real-time display object that is attached to a group ofRTProcessVar objects. This includes multiple channel bar indicators (which includes solid, segmented, custom and pointer bar indicators), multiple channel annunciator indicators, panel meter indicators organized in a grid, and scrolling graph plots based on a QCChart2D GroupPlot chart object.

Meter Axis Objects - Meter indicators needed new classes to support the drawing of meter axes, meter axis labels and meter alarm objects.

RTAuto… Indicator Classes - New classes have been added to simplify the creation of bar indicators, meters, dials, clocks, panel meters and scrolling graphs. These classes encapsulate all of the elements needed to create a particular real-time indicator type: coordinate system, axes, axes labels, titles, process variable, alarms, and panel meters for numeric readouts and alarm status. The auto-indicator classes are setup as a self contained UserControl derived objects, placeable on a form, and can be modified using methods and properties.
