Overview

Stardraw Control 2007 is the multi-award-winning, software-based universal control platform designed to create custom User Interfaces that can control any remotely-controlled or monitored hardware. Its open-architecture approach means that it maximizes flexibility and minimizes costs, allowing you to employ off-the-shelf hardware as core components in your control system and extend functionality almost without limitation.

Stardraw Control 2007 generates customized, Standalone or Client/Server control programs that can control any device over any protocol. It is fast and flexible with an ease of use that belies its underlying power: using its drag-drop interface and intuitive design environment, systems can be configured and controlled without having to write a single line of code.

Stardraw Control's open approach to system architecture means that you can utilize non-proprietary hardware to control any type of system. All that's needed is something to host the control program, like a desktop, laptop, tabletPC or UMPC, and something to talk to the hardware being controlled, i.e. a gateway device. This means that overall, Stardraw Control solutions can be deployed at a fraction of the programming time and hardware cost of conventional control systems.

Stardraw Control 2007 is the ideal solution for even the most sophisticated systems used to control and monitor hardware devices over any protocol including Ethernet, RS232, DMX, KNX/EIB, Infra-Red, EtherSound, CobraNet and more.  It allows generation of both Standalone and Client/Server control programs and, by using Stardraw Control 2007 you can write your own bi-directional device drivers.

Topology View

The Topology View is where you begin designing your system by selecting products, showing connections and defining properties.

• Choose products from a comprehensive listing of thousands of devices from hundreds of different manufacturers
• Click on any device to view and set properties such as IP address
• Define logical interconnections between the products in your system
• Create new drivers using the Product Wizard.
• Learn More...

Forms View

The Forms View allows you to create and program your User Interface.

• Drag and drop to create custom User Interfaces, or use pre-configured, customizable templates
• Controls include buttons, switches, faders, knobs, dials, meters, alphanumeric displays, images etc, all fully configurable
• Catch and react to any system or UI event, and assign any action to any control
• Learn More...

Control Programs

The objects and actions defined in the Topology and Forms Views are used to create Control Programs.

• Control programs are compiled to self-contained, standalone or Client/Server .EXEs that can be run on any Windows system with .NET framework 1.1, including Desktops, Laptops, TabletPCs and UMPCs
• Control programs can be edited, amended and re-compiled at any time, without additional cost.
