Stardraw Control - Now Shipping!
It is with real excitement that we can announce availability of
the release version of Stardraw Control. Over 2400 systems
specialists took part in the beta test phase prior to this launch,
and a great deal of their feedback has been used to enhance and
improve Stardraw Control's interface and featureset.
Stardraw Control has been developed to create
customized 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 you create
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. This means that control systems can
be more flexible and cost-effective than ever before.
Stardraw Control's property-based programming interface means
that you can define any control UI, catch any event, and specify any
action without having to write any code or understand any
programming language. For instances where more complex
programming is required, e.g. to write a driver using TCP/IP or
RS232, or to create a script, Stardraw Control contains a C#
scripting interface that includes Intellisense and that can reflect
upon existing scripts written in any language.
Fully functional demo control programs can be compiled at no cost
and deployed for demonstration, testing and approval. Stardraw
Control's comprehensive debug utility lets you view all events and
track errors as your program is running, taking the guesswork out of
debugging a system.
Its unique
commercial model means that systems employing Stardraw Control
technology are the most cost-effective option for customized,
comprehensive system control. A flat licensing fee of $500 per
project allows you to compile licensed, unrestricted control
programs and permits re-compilations with changes for a full year.
Coupled with freedom of choice of hardware to be used and
elimination of the need for specialist or third-party programming,
Stardraw Control gives you the opportunity to save literally $000s
on even small-scale control systems.
